It's implied (and official in the book series the show is based on) that a main character was abandoned by his mother in the past, and was raised by his grandparents.
This is likely to be explored more in later seasons, but as of season 2, it's barely been mentioned.

Spider lies to River about whether he said "blue shirt, white tee" or "white shirt, blue tee." This makes the characters (and the viewer) question what's true.

Catherine is a recovering alcoholic, and attends AA meetings. Lamb drinks frequently, and also offers alcohol to Catherine.
Not necessarily alcohol abuse, but characters do drink to unwind, such as in season 1 when Min and Louisa both go to the bar alone after work.

You do not see it but there is an investigation of a bomb going off in the penguin enclosure at a zoo. It’s mentioned frequently and someone (guy in the back of a police van) says that something (I won’t say what) hit him. Mention of blood etc

Yes, a few times throughout the series.
In season 1, Hassan is tied up (sometimes with tape over his mouth) for the majority of the time he's onscreen.
In season 2, River gets tied up with rope at the flying club, to prevent him from stopping a terrorist attack.

Tape is frequently put over Hassan's mouth in season 1.
In season 2, Louisa is grabbed with a hand over her mouth. This briefly makes the viewer think she's being attacked, but it turns out to be Marcus stopping her from doing something dangerous.

There's blood when characters die or get injured, but it isn't super excessive.
[Spoilers]
The scene of Min's murder could be considered pretty gory, though it's mostly just blood.

Actual cops are referred to as pigs (mostly by Roddy), so they aren't viewed favorably. However, the main characters all work for MI5, another law enforcement organization, even though they rarely follow orders.

Throughout season 1, there are flashbacks to Catherine finding the body of her boss, who committed suicide with a gun.
[Spoilers]
It's later revealed that he was killed by someone else, and it was only framed as a suicide.

Dementia is a theme throughout season 4, specifically with David, River’s grandfather. In S4 E6 (the finale), River has to put his grandfather in a memory care facility. While it’s very well written, this could be triggering for those who have been through something like this.
