Recently added
The 60 most recent of 3187 shows, grouped by the day they arrived. The catalogue grows in batches — an era or a genre at a time — so the days are wildly uneven, and a long one is cut here rather than listed whole.

- Season 1

A South Korean heiress paraglides into North Korea, and the opening treats the border as scenery rather than politics.

The making of The Godfather, opened in the visual language of the film it is about.
- Season 1
1 sequenceWandaVision
2021Disney+Sci-Fi
A different decade's sitcom opening every week — hand-drawn fifties, animated sixties, video-tape seventies, saccharine eighties, mockumentary two-thousands — each one a faithful pastiche of a real show's titles, and each one a little more wrong than the last.

Los Angeles patrol work, opened with the network-procedural confidence the format has run on since Hill Street Blues.
- Season 1
1 sequenceVikings

- Season 1
1 sequenceAtlanta
