A dead cat is mentioned but as far as I can remember a dead or dying cat is never shown on screen.

Charles Boyle's dog dies of a heart attack off-screen but has a memorial service.

In a thanks giving episode they attempted to kill a live turkey but fail

S2 E1, 18:30: Right after the airport scene back in the office, close-up of maggots swarming a desk drawer.

there is no dog fighting at all

A pigeon and a gold fish die in two opening scenes

A horse nearly dies in one episode but Boyle saves him

In an episode where Peralta and Holt are relocated to Florida, Peralta impersonates an exterminator and has to remove snakes from an elementary school. The snakes are shown and Peralta is visibly and audibly frightened as he removes them.

Jake walks into the precinct with a tarantula in a cage in one of the opening scenes. The spider proceeds to escape its cage and crawl onto Terry’s head.

Multiple occasions. Jake is stalked by a man who later kidnaps him, and Jake and Amy are both stalked by a multilevel marketing scheme

His ex-wife is talked about and in one episode shown to be abusive towards Boyle.

It’s never shown on screen but there is a reference to Boyle’s adopted son having been “sold” in the past that is never expounded on.

Amy struggles with smoking early on the show, Terry talks to her about his food compulsion and Holt relapses on his gambling addiction during a case.

The police squad arrest drug dealers and users many times over the course of the series. Many of these people are visibly high.

-There are quite a few episodes wherein drinking alcohol is suggested in response to stress or emotional trauma. -Binge drinking is depicted in a handful of episodes. -In S5E19 "Bachelor/ette Party" there is excessive drinking, including drinking games -In S6E5 "A Tale of Two Bandits," the NYPD engages in an outright drinking contest with the FDNY that involves binge drinking to the point of vomiting.

Pimento is (fake) tortured by Rosa and Jake. Pimento also often talks about the being tortured by criminals while undercover

Not usually. Except in one episode - kind of out of character for the show. My apologies, I forget what it's called - but it's the one where Jake's parents meet Amy's parents for Thanksgiving. SPOILERS - Jake's dad accidentally cuts off his thumb while drunk and carving a turkey, you can see his severed thumb and tons of blood pouring out of it spraying everywhere. Not gore- but after Gina gets hit by a bus, she has to wear a halo head brace and it has a part that drills into her skull, which she mention, she also does a little dance afterwards to prove she's fine, but while she's dancing, she yells in pain as you can hear the screws squeek on her Halo, it's not Gore, but I found it really gross and similar feeling.

While undercover in Florida, Jake gets frosted tips in his hair. Upon returning to NYC, the squad tells him his hair looks stupid and that he can cut it or they will do so for him; this is portrayed as an intervention, and Jake is sitting in a chair wearing a barber's cape. At first Jake resists, but when he sees Charles has gotten the same hair style, he comments that he can finally see how bad the look is, and agrees to let them cut his hair.

In Halloween IV Gina slips on roller skates

In a flashback sequence Charles is bludgeoned in the crotch with a baseball bat, rendering him infertile.

Charles sleeves catch fire but he is fine

No but in 4x20 Rosa does mention that she’s jealous Hawkins has been buried alive three times and she’s only been buried alive once.

No, but one minor character is a cannibal and talks about eating people/makes jokes about it and eyes people like he's planning to eat them.

A character accidentally cuts his thumb off on two occasions throughout the series.

in the thanksgiving episode with amy and jake's family, jake's dad cuts his thumb off. i dont know if they actually show it because i KNEW it was going to happen so switched tabs, just be wary when they're cutting the turkeys.

It isn’t shown on screen, but in Season 5 episode 1 a character is said to have killed himself by hanging.

It also happens when Hitchcock is pranked and falls asleep with his head in a bowl of water

Scully has a fake seizure for a case they do

Jake and Amy talk about a couple that fell to their death, no scenes are shown and it's meant to be comedic

Not mutilation but I'm quite sure they spray pepper spray into eyes in at least in one episode.

In episode 11 of season three, Amy breaks Terry’s nose by kneeing him in the face during his self defense seminar. You hear it, see her kneeing him, but you can’t really see the nose. The aftermath can be seen though, and there is blood. Also in another episode, a man breaks his leg (offscreen), (GROSS WARNING) we hear the noise and Jake says, “nothing to see here, just the bone, sticking out of the leg”

Caleb mentions killing multiple children by knocking them on the head in either the first or second episode of season 5. The same character also mentions luring children to places in one or two other episodes, but isn't specific to killing them, although it is implied.

Hitchcock has a mistress and it is mentioned that he's cheated on his wives many times, some side characters from specific episodes also cheat such as the Vulture on his fiancee and a few other examples and in a quite a few episodes cheating is also brought up. It is frequently joked with.

On multiple occasions people are kidnapped on this show - it is a police show so kidnappings and hostage situations are frequent.

Nikolaj's toy he was going to get for Christmas was destroyed but it all worked out in the end.

Terry's grandmother's funeral is mentioned, and many of Jake's family members are killed in a fire (neither death is shown or even reffered to in more than one scene

Jake dresses up as a clown for Terry’s daughters’ birthday party. It is a very brief flashback but he does pop a balloon animal while preoccupied with a murder case.

In one episode there are a large number of old dolls and puppets and someone jokes that they are haunted

There is at least one shower scene in the show but there is NO NUDITY shown and it is not meant to be uncomfortably erotic like most shows do shower scenes it is meant to be humorous and it includes many jokes.

probably more but season 6 ep 17: during a prison scene after Jake and Boyle finish talking to a cannibal inmate (Caleb), jake goes to shake his hand and he grabs it suddenly and tries to eat it. No sudden close-up, but definitely chaotic and unexpected.

Jake spits out food after being disgusted by another character's foot.

In S8Ep4, while Boyle interrogates someone, he repeats Terry's dialogue about a baby that soiled himself just offscreen, and before Amy's presentation Terry throws water on a man's crotch and proclaims he peed himself. In S8Ep6, Terry again throws water on a man's crotch.

S6 ep 5: Charles and Captain Holt both throw up after drinking in the bar. S8 ep 3: Terry says he’s nauseous several times, which worried my emetophobic daughter. But he never throws up the entire episode - his stomach just makes repeated rumbling noises. Safe to watch this one.

In the early seasons there is a lot of copaganda, even if it's not necessarily outright. Notably, in S1Ep19, a cop uses on her cop friend a sound cannon like those used by cops against BLM protestors in the US, and this is treated as a harmless joke that she finds cool and fun. While there are lots of messages increasingly throughout the show on how to improve the police force, such as standing up against racial profiling in S4Ep16, it's still hard to deny that this show favourably depicts cops performing negative actions. It's even a common thing for cops in the 99 (particularly Jake) to break the rules, such as spying on and/or arresting 'suspects' before any proof or evidence is gathered, simply because the cops 'have a hunch,' and they almost always turn out to successfully solve and resolve crimes for having done this. However, it is worth saying that Season 8 has completely turned the show around to take a serious look at issues in the police force, such as addressing in S8Ep1 the now commom idea that there are no actual 'good cops' by nature of them just being in the police force (aka ACAB), and having an ongoing plot about the 99 combating an old white guy who helps cops avoid retribution for literally everything. The release of Season 8 was even delayed because the show scrapped the first few episodes in order to reflect on its messages in wake of the BLM movement that surged in 2020. Ultimately, this show is copaganda for how it routinely plays off amoral and illegal actions of the police force as jokes or being the right thing to have done in the end, but one can't deny that it's further ahead than other cop shows in regards to reflecting on issues in the police force and now actively working to improve it in the show. Still, this show isn't perfect, and it's 100% understandable that someone may wish to avoid any and all instances of copaganda.

In 5x25, a character is put in a straight jacket and said to be psychotic to make his words and call for help seem delusional

Not really. I think in an episode they mention the electric chair but that’s it

S1 E14 The Ebony Falcon: at 3:30, a closeup is shown of a pushpin being inserted into a man's heel; audible squelching.

There are several hospital scenes, and an entire episode takes place solely in a hospital where they are guarding an unconscious witness who is in danger.

One of the side characters, Detective Lohank, has prostate cancer

Terry has a history of compulsive eating and in one episode he relapses.

In Coral Palms pt 2 or 3 (I can't remember), Holt has to stitch up his own wound without anaesthetic, which could be construed as self h@rm.

Gina, about 5mins into s4e7. Charles, about 3mins into s5e22 then again about 16mins into the same episode.

Yes, clearly Pimento. Who was undercover for many years with a horrible crime boss. He mentions sometimes graphic instances of torture, violence, and murder. He also mention says by how he got kicked out of the apartment because of him screaming so loud at night from night terrors. It's clear he's traumatized, but it's played off for laughs. There's one instance where Charles son nikolaj has symptom of PTSD as well, when Charles tells Jake to quiet down because "If Nikolaj here's two men arguing in another room. He might think he's getting sold again". Other than that, no, it's not a prevalent part of the show.

Some criminals could be mentally ill but the show doesn’t introduce a character as mentally ill and then show them performing violence

The only panic attacks I can think of are Amy’s claustrophobia, Rosa’s fear of giving blood and Holt’s elevator phobia. All are mild but do feature heavy breathing etc. I can’t think of any others off the top of my head but I think there are a couple others (involving Jake and Charles?).

Yes Terry has a lot of body dysmorphia due to being fat before the show took place. He is obsessed with maintaining his perfect body and reacts very strongly to any sort of fat joke. At one point his wife is concerned with losing baby weight causing Terry, Amy and Gina to go on a comically restrictive diet in solidarity.

Amy, the claustrophobic character, is occasionally locked in small spaces and experiences anxiety. The cast as a whole is occasionally trapped in a specific room for humor or plot points, but they are not generally tense.

It's not shown on screen, but in 5x01 ‘The Big House part 1,' someone named Miguel commits suicide by hanging himself.

yes, shaky cam is used consistently throughout the entire series.

^ they do eventually get pregnant and no one miscarries

In the season 7 finale, Amy gives birth in the precinct

In 5x29 a perp fake paralysie and using a wheelchair

The main character is Jewish and although antisemitism never occurs he does occasionally bring it up in non specific ways like when he is in prison he asks how cellmate how antisemitic a gang is and get a the response a normal amount

In one episode, a guest character says the f slur but is then punched in the face.

While the answer is yes, the hate speech portrayed is done so by the antagonist of the episode and he is promptly punched in the face into a hot tub. Likewise, the main characters share their disgust toward that kind of speech. It is there, but it is swiftly punished and denounced.

Hitchcock and Scully are frequent subjects of jokes about health problems associated with obesity.

Implied by various characters waking up in bed together, but all consenting adults and no nudity is seen

Not really Gina and boyel do have sex and then become step siblings

Captain Holt in sexually assaulted 3 times by Madeline Wuntch. Jake is hit on the butt multiple times by the Vulture. Terry is repeatedly sexually harrased by Gina. Boyle is touched sexually on the butt by a woman in prison who is is clearly afraid of. Episode in season 6 is about the subject of sexual assault in the workplace. Amy tells Jake about a time she was sexually harassed by her old boss.

The show hasn't ended yet but I don't understand how the ending would be unhappy. In fact, the season finales from season 6,7&8 are tear-jerkers because of how happy and warm it makes you feel inside

Gina is hit and almost killed by a bus. Kyle is hit by a car

it is spoken about multiple times. in the episode of Adrien and Rosa's wedding, Adrien pilots a plane (with Gina and Jake as passengers) and it is clear he doesnt know how to fly; it is implied they may crash and the characters look scared but their landing is not shown and they are all seen to be completely okay later in the same episode. this is a short, non-intense scene and meant to be humerous but may be upsetting if viewers are sensitive to this topic

Gina gets hit by a bus, and a couple of other characters are shown in minor car accidents

This is a cop show; guns are shown, pointed, and fired. At the end of S1 E11, a main character is shown being shot in the b**t (he survives and this is mainly played for comedic effect).

No, but a character wakes up from a nap with their face in a bowl of water (originally their hand was placed in the water and they moved. He is perfectly fine)

Have caution during the thanksgiving episode in Season 5,Jake's father cuts off his thumb while carving the turkey and blood is shown graphically squirting from the wound. Super out of place on the comedy show
