Not technically, but this show is probably wildly triggery to anyone who is triggered by gaslighting due to the fact that the premise of the show is to create a world that is staged and faked that many people participate in maintaining. This eventually becomes indistinguishable from reality for a child who the show posits is too young to have understood what he was participating in, eg, too young to consent to having an elaborately constructed fiction about who loves him built around him and being forced to participate in it.

A teenage actor portrays a character who rebels against his parents by taking drugs, then acts out an opioid overdose. A woman briefly discusses her past drug use including weed, LSD and cocaine. A man takes a hit from a bong.

Adding this because there is a scene in the 4th episode (I think) where an actor pretends to overdose on drugs. Since there’s no overdose tag I thought I would put this here, as it very severely triggered my PTSD. Although it’s only actors the scene itself is horrible and extremely emotional

People drink and get drunk in a bar. A teenage actor portrays a character who has issues with underage drinking. A woman says she used to ‘drink like a fish’.

No, but there’s some somewhat creepy behaviour in the second episode. A woman tells a man that she will not have sex outside marriage, but he seems convinced that he can persuade her otherwise, as he’s shown packing lube in his bag in preparation to go to her house. The two sleep in separate rooms.

No, but a teenage actor acts out a near-fatal opioid overdose before getting up and running away. It’s implied that his character is being killed off.

No kidnapping, but the first scene of the first episode shows, without context, a baby being taken through the window of a house and replaced with a different baby.

No cheating, but a brief shot of a man looking at a suggestive video of another woman while the woman he’s supposed to be co-parenting a child with is in another room.

while someone didn’t vomit, a character overdoses at the end of episode 4 and he foams at the mouth, it could be potentially triggering

No, but in a comedic skit a child actor ‘poops’ on a plate (obviously chocolate cake) and gets Nathan to eat it. He does so and grimaces at the camera, pretending that the cake is actually poop.

Other comment is accurate. Also in final episode Nathan has to tell a Christian child that although the child will go to heaven for being Christian, Nathan will go to hell for being Jewish

Nathan does "rehearse" motherhood, but I would argue this is treated as serious and sincere and not written as the butt of a joke. It read more trans than transphobic to me and a friend of mine (we're both trans but ymmv). Honestly that scene could crack some eggs.

Some sexual jokes. Discussion of extramarital sex in the context of Christianity. A teenage actor talks out of character about his friends having underage sex.
