I know Game of Thrones got a ton of hate after a while, but I loved the intros. They were unique to the setting where the episodes were going to take place.
The worst intros are the long ones that never change, but are on every episode.
The series went to shit, but the intros got me hooked from the very beginning (like, holy hell, what is this?) and I never skipped a single one, even at the end when I was pretty much done with it all.
Also, remember the single episode that just started with the Hound? That was a trip, when you expect the music and map.
They evolved to show the status of the elements on the map as events unfolded, it was honestly a really good subtle recap of major happenings up to that point in the story
And helping people understand westeros. The geography was such an important part of the story, it was a great way to show a map without being boring.
I loved Game of Thrones and Westworld. The music was bangin’ and the visuals were just amazing.
not sure why it got so much hate, i was expecting s8 to be terrible and it wasnt 😂
I find the Peacemaker intro quite catchy.
I know it is a spoof but even though I hate it I will watch Too Many Cooks all the way through when it pops up.
Too many cooks is the best wrong answer. Must resisted watching this again.
Sealab 2021. It’s been 20 years and it’s still stuck in my head
Sealab intro was amazing
Storm warning.
The Wire - same song, different take (Tom Waits, no less)
The Expanse.
The Expanse intro was so good
Gotta say: The Simpsons. Danny Elfman made one of the most iconic intro songs, and while I’m not sure the Simpsons was the first to do it, the varying intros was another iconic element.
I really like the intro for Disenchantment as well.
For me, Dexter.
Two Severance’s intros are great: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmS3m0OG-Ug https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKT5bwMkOAw Also many animes have epic openings.

For me:
Babylon Berlin intro captures the art, the deco, and the fear of what the viewer knows is going to come of that time period.
Black Sails just perfect
Raised by Wolves I was hit and miss on this in many ways, but this intro is great - albeit I think slightly misleading as to its overall tone.
Pennyworth I thought S1 was a bit silly, but what an intro.
Happiness This is just fun, and fits the show brilliantly
See also isn’t bad
Song of the Bandits The song on the YT video isn’t great here imo, but they actually mix it up in the show proper and use different songs. And some really fit the theme.
If we’re talking about music in general through the show rather than just the intro - The Korean High Fantasy series Arthdal Chronicles. Some stunning, music, throughout, the show. It was also kinda like watching a JRPG (even if Korean).
The first season of True Detective had an excellent intro sequence. HBO generally does a good job with their series.
Peacemaker. It’s so corny, but it makes me laugh and I couldn’t ever skip it.
Simpsons is pretty original
Original version way too long though, and the HD version is awful
MASH
yes I’m old
I’ll always enjoy the intro to stargate atlantis just because the whole concept of the city (and it’s appearance) is so fucking cool, even with the noticably… Sufficient… CGI it’s so inherently neat that it’ll remain impressive.
