Legion
Noah Hawley's series about a man who cannot trust his own perception, with title design to match.

It arrived on FX in 2017, when Archer, Feud and Atlanta were also on the network.

Black Mirror
A screen cracking, and that is the whole thing. Eighteen seconds of glitch and a fracture spreading across black glass — an anthology refusing to introduce anything, because each episode is a different show.
