Five glyphs inside the letter O — a boat, a gun, a cross, a bird, a body of water — chosen for the episode they introduce. The title card is a table of contents.

Ozark rebuilt its titles: two distinct opening sequences are catalogued here across seasons 1–2, running between 119 and 130 seconds.

At 130 seconds at its longest, it opens well above the 47-second median for crime sequences in this catalogue.

It arrived on Netflix in 2017, when Mystery Science Theater 3000, Arrested Development and Top Boy were also on the network.

Only 139 of the 2,618 shows catalogued here changed their titles at all; Ozark did so once.

All 2 opening title sequences

Season 1

119s

The first season's sequence. The symbols inside the O change from episode to episode, so this is one arrangement of many.

Season 2

130s

The second season, with a fresh set of glyphs drawn from what that year is about.

2015–2022AMCCrime

A title card that gets worse every year on purpose: tracking errors, colour bleed and tape damage accumulating season by season, so the picture degrades at roughly the rate its subject does.

Snow, and the claim that this is a true story, which it is not — an anthology that opens every season by lying to you in a title card.
