Game of Thrones. Best part of the latter seasons.

This. Just because I want to see what regions the episode will be taking place in.
Bojack Horseman, the song slaps and there’s way too many Easter eggs and jokes slipped onto the various intros to ignore them.
I love how the intro changes depending on what happened in the previous episode, or what will happen. Take Bobo the Zebra. A changing intro gives me a reason to watch it, and yes the song slaps. I particularly love the full version we don’t get to hear a lot of.
My wife claps during the Friends intro credits. Every time. EVERY. TIME.
She’ll be in the other room, and hear it on the TV… I hear the clap clap, clap clap from her as it plays.
The song lives rent free in my head regularly
I can’t stand that show (or Jimmy Fallon’s), but the CLAPCLAPCLAPCLAP hook slaps.
Matt LeBlanc and Jimmy Debate: How Many Claps Are in the Friends Theme Song?
The Expanse. Just so beautiful!
Seconded. The Expanse’s intro song is amazing!
Breaking Bad
I appreciate short and to the point intros like Breaking Bad
Tbf it would be hard to reach the skip button before it’s already over
Better Call Saul as well!
For me its Gravity Falls. I love the music.
I should rewatch it soon, probably one of my favorite tv-shows of all time
Succession. Love the music.
First season of true detective
The Sopranos, it really sets the mood. Game of Thrones too. And The Wire!
I liked the Dexter intro too. Breaking Bad, though its pretty short. And House MD when it was Massive Attack.
All of those HBO shows have great intros. I’ve heard HBO had a thing where they forced their showrunners to come up with an iconic and high quality intro. Apparently Mike Judge didn’t really want to do a big long intro for Silicon Valley, so they compromised and came up with the short intro that has tons of little hidden details.
Hold up… they stopped using Massive Attack as the intro music for House? I must have stopped watching it by the time it changed.
When they put it up on streaming it changed. They had different songs in different regions when it originally aired and the streaming version uses one of the other songs. Seems like a licensing thing?
All of them. Intros set a mood, and that’s a really important part of consuming any piece of content for me.
Scrubs - it is short enough not to skip it and it’s also fairly catchy!
Malcolm in the Middle and Community for me, for the same reasons.
Malcolm in the Middle’s slaps because it’s played by They Might Be Giants
White lotus. So funky
Parks and recs because it’s so upbeat. Homeland too but for an entirely different reason
Twin Peaks
How’s Annie?
The Wire
Which season is your favourite opening? I think in general mine is season 2
