The Couple Next Door
Two couples in a Leeds cul-de-sac, and what starts once one of them looks over the fence.
The Couple Next Door opens with a main title sequence of 8 seconds.
At 8 seconds, it opens well under the 50-second median for drama sequences in this catalogue.
It arrived on Channel 4 in 2023, when Party Down, Top Boy and Power Book III: Raising Kanan were also on the network.

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.

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.

1 sequenceIndustry
