Dispatches from Elsewhere
Jason Segel's series about an alternate-reality game that may not be a game, opened in eleven seconds.
Dispatches from Elsewhere opens with a main title sequence of 11 seconds.
At 11 seconds, it opens well under the 50-second median for drama sequences in this catalogue.
It arrived on AMC in 2020, when The Walking Dead, The Night Manager and Fear the Walking Dead were also on the network.

Slow Horses
London surveillance imagery over a theme Mick Jagger wrote for the show — a spy series whose titles are as shabby and unglamorous as its office.

Beef
A different David Choe painting behind the title card of every episode, so the opening is a gallery hung one canvas at a time across the season.

Industry
Twenty-two seconds of type and glass. A trading-floor show whose opening is over before you have settled, which is roughly how the job is depicted.
