No DOG dies, a cat does, and there is a different space for that on this list.

near the end of s1ep5 there's a dying deer crying out it seems it was hit by a car and left to agonize, they were gonna shoot it to put the poor thing out of its misery but something quickly snatches it away, it's obviously computerized but still realist and painful to watch. Highkey upset that no one mentioned this before and that I had to see it myself

No horses are seen, as far as I know. There is a deer that is seen injured, however, and it is grabbed by a creature. We later see the creature eating something, which is presumably the deer.

There's an allusion to Hopper's former drug addiction. S3E6 involves two characters being injected with drugs while captured. They end up vomiting in a bathroom but are ultimately fine.

Eleven breaks a kids arm in season one, because he was bullying Mike and Dustin. It is not that graphic, he just screams Ah! She broke my arm! Let's get out of here!"

A character named Bob who's introduced in the second season dies in episode 8 of the same season. He was dating Joyce, so he acted as a pseudo-father for Will and Jonathon. The death is graphically shown on screen.

While no one is outright sexually assaulted, there is a scene near the end of episode 2 which greatly resembles sexual assault, using common stock phrases used in sexual assault scenes. People who are triggered by this may be just as bothered by this imagery

billy's dad calls him a f*ggot. there are also racist implications in his actions; he tries to keep max away from lucas, and no reason is given other than the implication that it's because he's dark-skinned. (props to the brothers for making a realistic central indiana from the 80's, i guess.) not to mention that in the very first episode, the bullies make fun of lucas's race by calling him midnight.

Each season stands alone to some degree. The first season is mostly happy, though bittersweet due to the loss of a character. The Second season ends on a very much happy ending, though teases more to come

S3E6: a brief memory around minute 49. A husband is shown yelling at his wife accusing her of cheating. The wife throws plates, and a child tries to intervene. The husband is verbally abusive toward the wife, pushes the child out of the way, and punches his wife in the face. These same memories are shown quickly in the middle of S3E8.

in season one, mike nearly falls to his death, but is saved by eleven. i feel this should still be mentioned, since it's a very scary, suspenseful scene.

First episode, Billy crashes his car while on his way to the motel. I believe seventh episode Eleven throws a car towards Russians about to attack the gang. Finally, the scoops troop slams into Billy’s car while he’s about to run into Nancy and the rest in the car.
