This one's iffy. Harry is autism coded. In the first season he is treated well but in the second season less so. I'd still say no because he's not autistic, he's an alien but he has lots of autistic traits. However, in season 3 it really read as an "obnoxious", autistic child schtick and it becomes very uncomfortable.

It's at least one whole arc but kind of the theme of the whole show in a broad, vague sense, because the alien is trying to keep the fact he's an alien a secret. Can't say without spoiling a great unfolding of important mystery-shrouded events, but it's definitely a big part of s1 e10 specifically.

In s2 e1 the alien very unenthusiastically acts like he's spanking a kid he has ill will toward throughout the show. The kid isn't in pain but it may be icky for some to watch regardless.

The octopus that is sentient and telepathic is attacked and killed the dog that Harry was keeping in the cabin. The dog has the octopus in his jaws and shakes it violently, but there is no blood/gore. The octopus then dies in Harry's arms. It is played for dark humor, but it could definitely be traumatic. As the octopus is dying, he telepathically tells Harry to eat him with butter sauce, which Harry later does.

The main character, Harry, has a pet octopus (who he can talk with) who is killed by a dog he kidnapped and was holding hostage. The dog seems completely happy to be there, but he grabs and shakes the octopus to near death. Then the octopus dies in Harry's arms after a tearful conversation. Very unrealistic because of the talking, but it may be upsetting to someone who adores octopi or beings like them.

During a panel when people are speaking about their experiences with aliens, one man talks about being abducted by aliens, strapped to a cold table, and having a long metal rod inserted - - - then he breaks down and shows severe emotional de-stress.
the main character then jokingly says "he was going to say Asshole."
Later in the same episode at 38 minutes when Darcy and... I forget her name are playing pool. They mention Asta missing and her friend callously mentions that maybe she's in the back of a car, pounding and kicking and screaming. It triggered my partner when we were watching so figured I'd mention.

Several characters are "abducted" but it is never for sexual purposes. There's actually kind of a "reverse" kidnapping in one episode where he finds kids unconscious in his basement because they touched something that blasted them agaisnt the wall, and he has to put them safely back home so he doesn't look suspicious.
S1 Ep. 9 at 38 minutes when Darcy and... I forget her name are playing pool. They mention Asta missing and her friend callously mentions that maybe she's in the back of a car, pounding and kicking and screaming. It triggered my partner when we were watching so figured I'd mention.

BDSM sex, no nudity, but it is graphic, short scene atleast. Season 2 is far more sexual than the first one. I have not finished the second season yet because it is so uncomfortable.

We hear the gunshot off screen but do not see the dead body or the gun being fired. Also, at the end of s2 Asta (in a way of self-defense) shoots a bad guy with a rifle before he shoots Harry. There are also machine guns and shooting from the military personnel at the government facitily when Harry and Peter go to break the prisoners out. Peter is shot and killed while protecting his son
