Pachinko
The entire cast dancing in a pachinko parlour, grinning, in period costume — a sequence with no relationship to the show's tone and all the better for it.
Pachinko opens with a main title sequence of 96 seconds.
At 96 seconds, it opens well above the 50-second median for drama sequences in this catalogue.
It arrived on Apple TV+ in 2022, when Mythic Quest, Servant and Truth Be Told were also on the network.

House of the Dragon

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.
