Too Close
A forensic psychiatrist and the patient who will not stay on her side of the table.
Too Close opens with a main title sequence of 19 seconds.
At 19 seconds, it opens well under the 50-second median for drama sequences in this catalogue.
It arrived on ITV in 2021, when Thomas & Friends, Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends and Doc Martin were also on the network.

House of the Dragon

Slow Horses
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.

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.
