Braid, Damages
We just watched the first season of Damages (2007-) Excellent cast and riveting story telling.
The majority of screen time is spent linearly going over events of the last six months, two weeks at a time, but it's frequently punctuated with brief flashes forward to events of the present day, wherein things have gone Hideously Wrong. 'Present day' events are clearly marked through the use of oversaturated sharpened video.
One unintended amusement though. The soundscape places particular emphasis on the 'Ding' sound that the lift in Patti's apartment makes. It's exactly the same sound as picking up a key in 'Braid' - a platform game where an essential part of the game dynamic is manipulating time, which again is also marked by a full screen filter :)
