Twenty years after modern civilization has been destroyed, Joel, a hardened survivor, is hired to smuggle Ellie, a 14-year-old girl, out of an oppressive quarantine zone. What starts as a small job soon becomes a brutal, heartbreaking journey, as they both must traverse the United States and depend on each other for survival.

As Ellie is riding away from the group of men her horse is shot from underneath her. It's particularly sad since she was just giving it water the scene before. :(
They also end up eating the horse.

In this episode there is a character who tries to take on a role of a father for numerous young girls, although it is in more of a sexual manner than in a father like manner.
SPOILER
He also attempts to get Ellie to join him as her partner, and that could have been through marriage, but it’s not specified.
SPOILERS: A teenage girl is assaulted by a religious cult leader after he makes uncomfortable advances towards her. he then pins her to the ground and it is HEAVILY implied (borderline explicit) that he intends to imprison and rape her repeatedly. This never happens and he is killed seconds after this. This happens toward the end of the episode, slightly before the fifty minute mark.
S1E8 - (Spoilers for the climax of this episode) Attempted rape of a minor is shown on screen. (TW: detailed description of attempted rape) The scene shows the rapist on top of his underage victim, pinning her down. They are both fully clothed. He says something along the lines of “the fighting is my favorite part” and he goes to remove his belt. She is visibly terrified when she realizes his intent but she manages to grab a weapon and kill him before he gets any further than that. Traumatized, she repeatedly stabs him after he has died.
There is agonal breathing around the 30 to 35-minute mark. Agonal breathing is a bodily response to imminent death that sounds like struggling to breath, which can trigger PTSD symptoms.
In S1/05 a man is decapitated, but the audience can only see the outline of the characters during the decapitation. There are images of decapitated bodies in S1/E08.
20:25-20:56 raw meat (human)
38:02-38:06 severed ear in shower drain
45:14-45:24 dead human bodies being drained of blood
45:24-46:29 forcing a young girl/ going to “chop her up”…….
People in a town are also shown eating human meat, but it just looks like stew
episode one: at around 38:50, three people are lined up to be hanged in public as a form of execution due to insurrection. the hanging itself is not shown.
No the mother goes with them under falls pretends later both she and the infant get killed by the people that took them who promised them safety so I would say no but it's close to it if you think about it
A scene that seems similar to kidnapping happens, where while a character is sleeping a hand is placed over their mouth and they are grabbed, but it turns out to be a friend.
season 2 ep1- safe✅ ep2- safe✅ ep3- 🔴around 47 minutes dina gets sick just after ellie calls for her in the woods. audio only🔴 ep4- 🔴around 25 mins on now tv/sky (someone else has said it’s at 27 mins so different apps may be different time). only audio no visuals, just after they walk into the tv station and see all the hanging bodies.🔴 ep 5- 🔴dina retches after seeing a pile of dead bodies but no v* about 13 minutes in🔴 ep 6- safe✅
Military propaganda is a discussed issue due to Ellie's situation, but it is presented in a way where it's clear she doesn't know much outside of that world.
Yes but not due to their mental illness specifically, an old woman with dementia has become infected by the fungus and this causes her to attack her family.
55:40- A character kills another person, then realizing what they've done, shoots themselves. It happens fast- offscreen but we see the motion and Ellie's reaction.
In keeping with the video game, when the outbreak first starts and they are trying to escape in a truck, the camera is shown from the perspective of the backseat looking out the front window of the truck and it seemed a bit shaky to me and triggered a bit of my motion sickness.
During a scene at the resort where everyone from David’s group are gathered for lunch, you can hear a baby crying in the background for a few seconds. No physical baby is shown.
Mother is shown in labor, baby has umbilical cord but no blood. Cord is cut with a knife.
(Fun little side note, the actor is Ashley Johnson, Ellie's voice actor in the video game!)
The plot of episode 3 uncritically presents assisted suicide as a romantic ending for two characters. Notably, these characters only start discussing suicide as an option once one of them starts using a wheelchair.
No but I said yes just Incase someone said people need to get right with Jesus that's why there is crime and 3 nails+ one cross equals forgiveness but nobody response so it's mentioned but I don't know if it counts as discussed
a male character is gently advised not to show fear, but it's for the sake of helping a young child feel at ease, not based on harmful gender stereotypes.
episode one: there is a car crash at around 27:30. this happens after a plane crashes into the street and rubble hits the car. there is another car crash at 28:30.
[SPOILER] No, but there is intent. When Joel and Ellie are in the car, an injured person appears in front of it. Joel pauses, then screeches the tires and fully intends to hit/run over the injured person, because he thinks they are being ambushed. However, the person dodges the car and does not get hit.
