This tv show contains 50 potentially triggering events.
Season 2 episode 1 right off the bat. Heartbreaking. You don’t see it but you hear it and know it’s going to happen. Greyhound gets killed by a football. Ted has a touching speech about another dog he knew who died. Then Dani struggles with it and there’s a dream where he kills a cartoon dog and is splattered with his blood.
A major theme in season 2 is the suicide of Ted’s father. Additionally, leaving without saying goodbye is specifically mentioned in one of the last episodes (as it nearly/sort of happens)
Jamie's father is abusive towards him. This abuse is shown onscreen in the finale of season 1 (physical/verbal abuse/throwing things), as well as in season 2 episode 8 (verbal abuse/physical violence), and discussed in other episodes as well, especially in season 3 episode 6.
SPOILERS: This is a recurring theme of the show.
Notably, we learn than Jamie was/is verbally, emotionally, and physically abused by his father and goes on to abuse others. Nate also is abused by others in season one, and then uses his new position of power to abuse others in season 2.
A character is in frequent contact with her ex husband, who is very emotionally manipulative several times. Another character is sabotaged frequently and does not suspect the one responsible due to their good relationship
Characters are shown drinking to avoid dealing with stressful situations or mental health issues, but it's portrayed as a problem and none show signs of alcoholism.
Fucking barkingham palace from s2e1 is supposed to be a shelter and then lazy writers making weird homophobic not funny character have her be the premiere dog breeder which obviously makes no sense and yes selling dogs creating more dogs killed in over populated shelters is abuse
S3e1 anti vegan joke for no reason except writer spite
S3e2 they shoot a commercial where they make a baby lamb stand distessed on a dance floor surrounded by noise, flashing lights, and a huge crowd, then make jokes about about the lamb dying
there is a character at the pub mentioning his anxiety surrounding snakes to Sharon, as he finds out she is a therapist. she comforts him saying that he should confront his fears but in a therapist kinda way where its hopeful
not necessarily outright assault, but definitely some iffy moments wrt consent. s2e11: a man kisses a woman without her consent, but he quickly pulls away and apologizes and she doesn’t appear to be severely impacted by it. s3e6: a character mentions that his abusive father took him to lose his virginity to a sex worker when he was 14, and it’s implied that he was traumatized by it. s3e8: a character has a private nude video leaked online. she also mentions previously having had a relationship with a teacher when she was in high school.
As a practice method, male players are forced to tie ropes around their penises, and many players accidentally move too far away from their partner, causing the rope to snag on both of their penises. Meant to be comedic but can be excessively upsetting for some.
no, but in the last episode of season 2 roy gets badly injured and this injury is referenced throughout season 2. roy repeatedly has to pop his knee back into place and there is obvious “bone sounds”
The Richmond team part of their locker room is haunted by the ghosts of young men who were tricked into enlisting in the British army during WWI, who had their physicals in that room. They perform a ceremony to send the ghosts away, but the are no real ghosts.
season 2 - after his injury, roy has continuous knee problems and repeatedly has to put his knee back into place in order to walk, slight audio gore is used when he does this
A lot of Colin's arc in season 3 focuses on the fact that he's gay, and part of that is the fear of being outed. However, he's never outed, and is able to come out on his own terms.
Trent does discover that Colin is gay before Colin was ready to tell anybody, but they bond over this experience, and nothing bad comes out of it.
They didn’t say it was ,but I can see why it can come across as like that. I’m just saying I don’t think anyone is triggered by post credit scenes either [UPDATE] that said why the hell is it greyed out? Does the App Store have some kind of policy that enables autism to be censored on the app version like with the bestiality and sexual assault examples? I don’t get it! [Updaye 2] phew there! It’s been fixed so hopefully everyone is all good now
The closest would be in Season 2 for "Led Tasso" which is a harsher personality of Ted Lasso. Coach Beard has to "snap him out of it". It could come off as a "switch", especially because Ted says "how long was I gone this time" which can be common for systems who experience amnesia during switches. Our system wouldn't consider it misrepresentation, though.
In a dream-like sequence in S02E08, a character who's established to be a figment of Coach Beard's imagination tells him to kill himself. It's said in a joking, over-the-top way and played for laughs, but reflects Beard's real self-loathing issues.
Nate gets trapped in the storage area underneath the bus. Little time is spent in the storage area, but if you get secondhand discomfort from characters being claustrophobic situations this scene may affect you.
Season 2, I think Rainbow (episode 5), there's a couple who explain directly to the camera how they met, about 3/4 of the way through the episode (during crowd shots before a game)
alot of abelist sentiment is thrown around in the finale of season two when a journalist outs ted's panic attacks, commentators calling him unfit and wrong in the head. many make sly jokes about ted actually being alright.
In episode 5 of season 2, Roy makes a comment about his aunt having a mustache, and Ted jokes that he’s sorry for her appearance. Not the same but I feel like it’s similar category of joke
A 21 year old and a woman in her 40's date, in season 2 as a major plot point. There is a mention about grooming/p*dophilia, but they are two consenting adults. It is pretty off-putting though, and a majority of the characters are supportive of the relationship.
No sexually charged nudity in seasons 1 and 2, but there is one short scene where a couple of men's butts are seen in the locker room as the athletes are changing and one episode where a character looks at several very realistic pencil drawings of breasts. Neither scene is in a sexual context.
Not onscreen or during the events of the show, but in "Sunflowers" when Roy and Jamie are on their bike ride, Jamie talks about how he lost his virginity the first time he was in Amsterdam. He was underage (14?), and it's implied that the experience was traumatic for him.
a main character is a model who is frequently sexualized by people (mainly men) she interacts with, but the main characters are largely respectful towards her
