This is one of the best written shows of the 90s when it first aired. It’s well written the stories are engaging. It’s based on a real woman who could do what Allison DuBois does, but this show is also filled with a lot of gory animal scenes that you don’t see much of these days on TV. For which I am grateful. As someone below stated there is an episode where a dog is tortured another episode where a cat is viciously killed. There’s even dead fish, there’s a dead deer— it’s just a series that takes liberties with animal cruelty. And while this goes to highlight the cruelty, that killers do, they could’ve handled it much much better without all the gratuitous animal cruelty. That’s the one thing I really really dislike about the show. Otherwise it’s a damn good TV series.

In a dream of Allison’s, a woman is violently stripped nude in front of a large group of people. It is very upsetting and can be skipped by skipping the beginning of the episode until Allison awakes from the dream.

Lee is a recovering crack addict. Allison has a dream about him smoking crack at his wedding. There are a few other instances where he comes close to using again or Allison dreams it.
In 'Second Opinion' season 3 episode 13, a man Lee sponsored in Narcotics Anonymous is dead from an apparent overdose. The man's roommate is also an addict and he is shown having withdrawals.

Yes. You hear it happen, it's killed. You don't see it until after it's dead but it's very gory. It's in season 3 episode 15 'The Boy Next Door'

It is referenced a lot, as a lot of the cases they solve involve SA, and a lot of those involve children.

if this is a serious trigger for you, there's a few episodes to avoid.
'Knowing Her' Season 2 Episode 19. Several drug mule girls are found without their eyes. Allison dreams that Elena sticks her thumbs in Lee's eyes (Very graphic)
also, avoid the entire 'How to Make a Killing in Big Business' 3-episode series because in all three episodes, corpses are found without their eyes.

Here's where it's complicated. In 'Burn Baby Burn part 1 & 2' We see a woman lighting herself on fire. However, it's not graphic, and it's not real. It's a visual metaphor.
*SPOILERS*
It's to signify that she faked her death by 'burning herself' when really, the body was swapped with someone else in the actual fire.

season 1 episode 6 - from an emetophobia, it is not that triggering for me at least. there's no graphic visual. very slight sound, just turn it down for a moment. you get a brief warning because Allison covers her mouth and walks out of the room. skip from 10:29 to 10:41, after that she's just hunched over a little bit but nothing else happens for the entire rest of the series.

Spoiler alert. A man is romantically and sexually involved with a woman who is his sister's exact lookalike. Technically not incest but it can be triggering.

This plane crash has prevented me from flying to or from that destination ever since---more than a decade ago. I can hardly even watch any TV show now that has the actor who died in that episode.
