S1E1: The first 80 seconds

A jogger. The camera pans slowly, showing a desolate landscape. No narration. We notice the jogger is approaching a house trailer.

Now our view is from inside the trailer. Breathing hard, the jogger sits down hard on his front step. The whole trailer shakes. I still laugh at that, every time I see it.

After a moment's rest, the jogger gets himself a drink of water. The phone rings. Looking for the phone, he turns a complete 360. Not the most organized guy. I laugh, every time I see it.

He answers the phone: "Mathias". It is the only word spoken before the opening credits.

An introduction to the desolation of Wales, two good laughs, and the main character is identified. Not a lot of idle chatter.
