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.

[–] Evkob@lemmy.ca 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Bojack Horseman, the song slaps and there's way too many Easter eggs and jokes slipped onto the various intros to ignore them.

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.

[–] Silviecat44@vlemmy.net 2 points 1 year ago

The song lives rent free in my head regularly

Succession. Love the music.

[–] Silviecat44@vlemmy.net 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

For me its Gravity Falls. I love the music.

[–] kresten@feddit.dk 3 points 1 year ago

I should rewatch it soon, probably one of my favorite tv-shows of all time

[–] oxideSeven@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The Expanse. Just so beautiful!

[–] falx@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Seconded. The Expanse's intro song is amazing!

[–] animist@lemmy.one 10 points 1 year ago

First season of true detective

[–] CallMeM@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Scrubs - it is short enough not to skip it and it's also fairly catchy!

[–] IntergalacticZombie@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Malcolm in the Middle and Community for me, for the same reasons.

[–] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Malcolm in the Middle's slaps because it's played by They Might Be Giants

[–] LossLeader@lemmy.studio 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

All of them. Intros set a mood, and that’s a really important part of consuming any piece of content for me.

[–] itadakimasu@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago

White lotus. So funky

[–] mr_robot@programming.dev 9 points 1 year ago

Parks and recs because it's so upbeat. Homeland too but for an entirely different reason

[–] synthllama@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] lodion@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hold up... they stopped using Massive Attack as the intro music for House? I must have stopped watching it by the time it changed.

I appreciate short and to the point intros like Breaking Bad

[–] oryx@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Better Call Saul as well!

The Office US. Gets all the happy chemicals flowing.

Actually, now that you reminded me of Gravity Falls, that one too. And for me at least, in both cases the music is doing the heavy lifting. Such great tunes, how can you skip that?

Speaking of great music, I haven't watched a full episode of GoT, but the intro is amazing! I look it up every now and then just to listen.

[–] Silviecat44@vlemmy.net 2 points 1 year ago

I haven’t watched much of the office US but I can agree that the intro is very solid

[–] croobat@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Back in the 90's...

season 1 and 2 of ST: Enterprise

But also all other ST shows.

[–] deejaydee@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Raised by Wolves

Haunting music and visuals. Check it out on YouTube if you've never seen/heard it!

[–] Kissaki@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Mushoku Tensei / Jobless Reincarnation

Great music, setting mood in an exceptional way, every episode different background / scenes in it, exceptional for world-building.

Young Sheldon. Short and sweet.

[–] McBinary@midwest.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If it's less than 10 seconds, I won't skip because it's equally a hassle to skip. So far that's only been maybe Scrubs? These 90 second intros can buzz off man... GoT, Westworld, motherland... No thanks.

Expanse!

a) it's really cool how they update the credits to go with the storyline b) watching as Mars/Earth/Luna build and grow over time b) I want to float around Saturn

[–] deejaydee@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Raised By Wolves.

Haunting visuals and music. YouTube it if you haven't seen it yet. Gives me shivers everytime.

ER and Third Watch speaking of 90's shows, but also Ted Lasso and Brooklyn Nine - Nine
