* At one point, Greg the probation worker gets drunk and starts making aggressive sexual advances towards the much smaller Finn. Finn was disturbed enough that his normally weak telekinesis manifests strong enough to knock Greg over the railing. Good thing, too--had it not, [[RapeAsDrama something very unpleasant was likely to happen to Finn.]]

* E4's Youtube channel bills it as one of Series 1's funniest moments, but the Nathan/Ruth sex scene is rather disturbing thanks to the gratuitous nudity. [[spoiler: Ruth turns ''back'' into an old woman during part of it.]]
* A lot of the more disturbing content isn't so bad, because it's lightened up by the humour - they managed to make [[spoiler: a main character getting impaled on a pipe]] funny - but there are exceptions.

* Luke is a very disturbed man. He has the ability pull himself and others backwards and forwards in time.

* Dark Geoff is a manifestation of Geoff's abusive past. Dark Geoff has no powers of his own but he is arguably the most realistic form of nightmare fuel for the series, his abusive behaviour towards his girlfriend was disturbingly realistic. He also knocked out the original Geoff and stuffed him in the boot of his car, concussed Rudy and hid him under the table, he attempted to rape Rudy's mother via false identity and when Rudy tried to intervene he knocked both of them to the ground and nearly beat the two with his belt. They were lucky that Jess arrived in time.

She slipped and impaled herself on a potato peeler, her coffee mug broke and doused her, and she gets hit by a car when crossing the road.
