I think are a few episodes where someone is found hanging. Some were killed before hanging but the cops find them like that.

In S2E9 an old case is mentioned where a 6 year old boy was abducted and they caught the guy but the child was killed. It's not a significant part of the episode, only mentioned. And nothing is shown.

***SPOILERS*** I'd say Captain Montgomery was a fairly major character, and his death might hit some viewers pretty hard.

This show is heavily weighted in favor of sympathy to the cops as the good guys, with unnecessary force and reasonable lawfulness sometimes brushed off in favor of drama or shenanigans. However, the main characters are painted as trying to be ethically solid. A major storyline surrounding a specific murder over multiple seasons has to do with corrupt police, as do several other smaller cases, and the cops in questions are dealt with and shown as Bad or at least having made Bad choices. Castle himself is kind of a cop fanboy, hence the entire premise of the show.

Some episodes involve a killer who is mentally ill, but more episodes involve profiling people as suspects who are mentally ill who end up being innocent and framed.
SPOILERS S04E09 - the killer has severe depression and delusions as a result of trauma suffered as a soldier.

SPOILER s2e17 Castle and Beckett see who they think is their killer shoot himself through a window. It turns out he doesn’t actually shoot himself, it’s a ploy by the real killer.

S6 E11 a woman goes into labour and you see her having contractions. It cuts away to another scene after Lanie says that it’s time. You don’t see any of the actual child birth and the next scene with her is when she’s holding a baby

Lots of mild stuff like calling two male cops “princesses” and “ladies”.

The murder victims on this show are fairly diverse but there is definitely a large share of Black victims. MAJOR SPOILER //
.
.
.
the only major main character to die in the first three seasons is the Black police captain, Roy Montgomery.

The general concept of “when someone found out santa was fake” comes up a couple times, most memorably about Beckett in early Season 3 and Alexis at various points.

It was supposed to but they made an alternate fake ending that is all and they ended happy with 83844 kids and it’s truly bad and ridiculous
