Agree 100%. That song is beautiful, and the entire title credits is so good.

Always loved the opening for Dexter, with all of the images which could be sinister but aren't in the context of his morning routine.

I like both Magnum PI opening themes. Although, the original one was only for the first 10 or so episodes.

I feel like True Detective Season 1 has inspired a lot of replicated intros from subsequent shows.

The "Dark" intro is good.

ETA: Season 5 of the Wire's into is pretty bad. Bad cover of the song and stupid newspaper clips cut in.

Star Trek TNG

Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its continuing mission: to explore strange new worlds. To seek out new life and new civilizations. To boldly go where no one has gone before!

After a few watches I would skip any intro

This is me as well. I don't particularly care for intros really though. So even "good" ones aren't something that I feel compelled to watch and not skip.

game of thrones. it was so awesome tuning in every week, hearing the theme and seeing whatever changes they made to the map. it was even more fun after i'd read the books between s1 and 3.

until it was no longer fun.

The show opening to "Baretta" with Robert Blake was always top notch.

exactly how i feel.
if there's a button to "skip intro", i'll hit it every time no matter the show.


the two intro's i'll add are The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett. I wouldn't say they are really intros, as it's just the music and the title of the show for a few seconds, but the music gets me pumped up and ready to watch every single time.
