The Chi
Lena Waithe's South Side, following several lives that keep intersecting.
The Chi kept one opening title sequence, 10 seconds long, across seasons 1–3.
At 10 seconds, it opens well under the 50-second median for drama sequences in this catalogue.
It arrived on Showtime in 2018, when Shameless, Homeland and Billions were also on the network.

2 sequencesEuphoria
No opening sequence as such. Each episode runs a cold open, often one character's history told in narration, and only then cuts to the title card.

1 sequenceThe Boys
Superhero iconography rendered as corporate branding and then defaced — the show's whole argument, done in graphics.

1 sequenceThe Night Manager
Le Carré's arms dealer and the hotelier sent in after him, opened by weapons assembling out of luxury.

A map that rebuilds itself each week. The clockwork cities shown change with the locations the episode visits, which makes it the rare title sequence carrying actual information.

- Season 8
1 sequenceYellowstone
Montana filmed as a land claim — cattle, mountains and fence line, with the ranch's brand doing the title card.
- Season 1
3 sequencesThe Witcher
No sequence in the usual sense. Each episode opens on its own sigil, drawn together out of liquid silver and shards over black, with the theme beneath it.
