The Best Title Sequences of 2020  It’s been a year like no other. A year when so many of us turned to screens to connect or, indeed, to disconnect; when we ached for a dollop of entertainment, a moment of escape or a dose of comfort, for something familiar or something completely new.  This year, for Art of the Title’s seventh annual list of the year’s top 10 title sequences, we’re doing something new.

Here are 10 series from 2020 and beyond currently streaming on Showmax you won’t find anywhere else. Power Book II: Ghost picks up shortly after the earth-shattering events of Power (binge all six seasons on Showmax) as Tariq St Patrick (BET Award nominee Michael Rainey Jr.) grapples with a new world order: his father dead and his mother, Tasha (Naturi Naughton), facing charges for the murder her son committed.
