In season 2 episode 4, a dog jumps out of the moving car’s window. It shows the dog after the incident limping. They explain that he needs surgery and he is later seen wearing an eyepatch. There’s not very much shown but can still be upsetting.

shakey cam isn’t used much here! one instance of it is toward the very end of s2 e11
it may be used sometimes; that said, it’s not too significant, but I understand why that might be a concern :)
