Darcy's mom is lesbophobic and kicked her out at the end of episode 7. There's one scene with her in this episode, when Tara goes to Darcy's house. Her mum answers the door and says something lesbophobic about Darcy. Later on, Darcy rejoins her friends and is visibly disheveled (from spending the night in the park) and opens up to Tara about her parents.

Most people have said no to this question, but as someone who actually has misophonia, there were some sounds in this show that could potentially bother people who have it. Charlie brushing his teeth and spitting out his toothpaste was a trigger for me, as well as typing sounds and loud cheering sounds at the sports event in the last episode. It all depends on the person!

Charlie’s nose bleeds after he tries to tackle someone during the first (?) rugby match.
(Later episode) In the scene after Nick’s altercation at the cinema, he has a bit of blood on his tissue.
