Lost is in the running but hard to beat Better Call Saul. So much is learned and felt without a single word being said. Also weaved in Saul’s own words that his best case scenario would be “working at a Cinnabon in Omaha”. Was this his plan all along?

Mr Robot’s opening scene is incredible. I think that’s probably my favorite pilot as well.

The Wire’s is really good as well, as well as some others mentioned here.

1st 10-15 minutes of Halo was awesome. The rest of the series… not so much

For me it was Friday Night Lights. For some reason back then, I got chills every single time back then while watching that series

Game of Thrones has to be up there when it comes to opening scenes. Was hooked at that point (sadly).

The Americans. Great scene and the choice of "Tusk" as the music was excellent.

I'll probably catch shite for this, but the opening sequence of Firefly, "The Train Job". Technically it's Episode 2, but it aired as the premiere episode of the series.
