Timeless
A stolen time machine chased through American history, cancelled twice and revived once.
Timeless opens with a main title sequence of 60 seconds.
It arrived on NBC in 2016, when Mad About You, Will & Grace and The Biggest Loser 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.
