Unorthodox
A young woman leaving a Satmar community in Williamsburg for Berlin.
Unorthodox opens with a main title sequence of 20 seconds.
At 20 seconds, it opens well under the 50-second median for drama sequences in this catalogue.
It arrived on Netflix in 2020, when Top Boy, Big Mouth and Cobra Kai were also on the network.
