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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

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

For me its Gravity Falls. I love the music.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago

Succession. Love the music.

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years 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.

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

The Expanse. Just so beautiful!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Seconded. The Expanse's intro song is amazing!

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

[–] croobat 7 points 2 years ago

Back in the 90's...

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

White lotus. So funky

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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

Omg it's been years since I watched it and I just heard the theme in my head like it was the first time... I need to rewatch it now

Brooklyn Nine-Nine

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years 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.
