Glad they mentioned Westworld and Daredevil. The best opening credits can be watched and appreciated at the beginning of every episode without getting boring. Netflix always gives the option to skip the opening credits, and I'm all like "WHAT? NO!"

Wow, a few years after watching that, True Detective's title sequence still gave me chills.

Glad you gave True Detective the time it deserves; it is _the best_ title sequence of any TV show.

True Detective's intro literally pulls you the world that the show uses to drive its narrative which is literally what an intro is supposed to accomplish

Great video, True Detective's opening credits really is a statement on how good the show itself is.

For a second i thought i was watching a Vox video

narco's title sequence will always be my favourite

I see true detective. I click.

I have to admit, the title sequence for the first season of True Detective is probably the best title sequence in TV history. The art design, not to mention the song used, really piece together the show

The 1960's had some trippy Saul Bass inspired artwork with their intros.

How could WIRED miss out on talking about THE WIRE and its opening sequence? 😒

An observation: James Bond title sequences have always been pretty innovative for their respective eras, while Star Wars has chosen to retain its basic "original format". Definitely a strategic choice, as the Star Wars movies seeks to convey a unified & continuous story-universe; while the Bond films often re-set their story anytime a new Bond actor takes the Mantle (I.e. look no further than re-starting the Spectre organization under Daniel Craig's Bond.)

Could we have a list of all the shows from which the title sequences mentioned are taken?

Well shit. I guess my own video essay on TV Title Sequences won't be so unique when it drops next Monday...

A show title that I'm surprised wasn't mentioned was Dexter. That show opening was... amazing. It found a way of making the most mundane activities of a morning routine look like the acts of a serial killer and just plain made you feel uncomfortable watching it. I am glad to see Carnivale andTrue Blood used in this as examples though.

True detective has to be my favourite intro.

great video. I'd just like to mention one show that has really interesting approach to title sequences - BBC and Netflix's Peaky Blinders. They in every episode play the same song at the beginning with the opening credits rolling, but the song is incorporated into the opening scene. Pretty badass stuff for the badass show.

The Crown, Sherlock & Daredevil are my faves. The Crown makes weirdly emotional for some reason.

damn i miss the sopranos

I should have known you had gone to Art of the Title. I LOVE them and what they do with their website.

Great spot! I love the effort put in title sequences. They're are all so beautiful and different

It's amazing to think every little thing often has had a lottttttt of thought and effort put into it :)

West world title sequence IS SO GOOD!

The magnum pi intro is fucking great.

I'm completely obsessed with the opening titles for black sails

best opening? The Eric Andre Show.

I like Mr. Robot's opening because the typeface stays the same, but the song and backdrop of the opening change each episode.

this video is awesome, i have been actually thinking about title sequences for a while now and this video answered some of my questions!

True Detective's opening sequence was absolutely mind blowing! Really wish i could go back to watching it for the first time

His dark materials and Succession are my favourites recently. These are my most recent never skip the intro.

American Horror story, just, wow

Watch the title in full for episode 1, skip title for every other episode.

true detective , sopranos and bojack are my fav opening sequences :)

True Detective intro blew my mind, and its cool to see how influencial it was to series after.

Title sequence from No Offence is one of my favourites.

It's literally like a hook from an essay

Saw the True Detective intro in the thumbnail, instant click for one of the best shows ever.

Extremely informative video, thank you!

can someone list the names of all the shows who's title sequence have been shown

Mad men and the crown are some of my favorites 😍😍

this channel is so underrated

Dexter's always been one of my favorites

Have to mention that I feel like some influence comes here from anime openings, although western shows use more instrumental tracks and esoteric images rather than the sweeping presentation visuals of anime.

Still years behind simple anime OPs/EDs

Is there anywhere I can find the script and bibliograohy/references for this essay?

Daredevil's opening sequence is probably one of my favorites, it is

Talking about title sequences and no mention of anime OPs, possibly some of the best recurring examples of title sequences

Great piece. Made me subscribe!

Interesting to describe the title sequence as an airlock when many shows today put their title sequence after the first 5-10 minutes of the show

I love the old title sequences of yore. They were great too.

I'd also count Neistat's abrupt bold fonts amidst random timelapse and Vsauce's "Hey, Vsauce!". KZfaq and TeleVision being different medium, the analogies could be: TV titles are airlocks, YT titles are doorbells.

Greatest opening titles? Stingray, hands down. "Standby for action. Anything can happen in the next half hour."

A shows title sequence is much like the opening theme for an anime. If it's good enough the audience will never tire of watching it. It will forever become part of the show.

You know! Kyle Cooper is the one who started the Renaissance of title design! It’s a film called SE7EN! Also I was born during the time title sequences were taking to the next level!

True Detective, Westworld, Earl Sweatshirt, Atlanta... You gained so much respect in less than 1min. Well done Wired, well done.

I get happy whenever I hear the it's always sunny theme

The long sequences are coming back from a hiatus that started IMO with Scrubs. I distinctly remember seeing that short intro more and more being like, "nooooo don't be like them!!" Glad a longer format is coming back. I for one like to see credits

yo whats the title sequence from 3:07 from? its looks so cool

Nice video on a subject I'm always interested in (I love to sit through main titles and end credits of any kind and I appreciate the design). Still, some of the most creative and iconic titles sequences were made in 80's and 90's. Highly recommend website "Art of the Title" on the subject, BTW, a great website. Nice to see these guys interviewed on the subject.

the adamantium age of tv

I can't watch The Crown's opening without feeling power and getting shivers. Daredevil's is so good, too.

There are many great title sequences, but in my opinion DareDevil is the best. I say that due to the immediate tone setting for the series. Just off of the credits I knew that it wasn't going to be anything like previous comic book to screen adaptations. Game of Thrones, Man in the High Castle, and The Sopranos all have amazing intros too.

Wired is making the best content on KZfaq, keep up the good work plz

The first season of the newsroom 😂

5:21 Earl Sweatshirt fans lost it

Elastic is the company that made True Detective’s amazing title sequence, and they also made the new Dead Island 2 title sequence. It’s amazing too

Could've pointed out how GoT has that influence of introducing viewers to the show with the map and locations in the intro

The Leftovers is a masterpiece

The Expanse has some really nice opening graphics that help set up the universe a bit.

I think this video needs to be updated and appreciate that anime has been doing this for decades. Making music videos and artistic landscapes out of the shows they present. This needs to be addressed because many of American title sequences are inspired by anime as well.

So much of the evolution of title design has been directly parallel to the evolution of technology used to make it!

GoT has like the best opening combined with the most epic song

Was that guy at 2:10 named gandolfini?

Great video, but no mention of Cheers?

True Detective, Game of Thrones and Westworld are goated but i also loved the Opening themes of the Netflix Marvel shows frol Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Defenders and even Iron Fist. They all slapped

Interesting video. However I couldn't help but think that anime shows have been creating amazing title sequences for decades. The openings for Code Geass and Attack on Titan make True Detectives opening seem kinda lackluster.

No mention of Game Of Thrones???

Oh god, it's a shame what happened to Vynil...

What music video is that at 5:21?

True Detective, Daredevil, Punisher, Breaking Bad, Vikings, Luther, Narcos, Band of Brothers, The Walking Dead, Westworld and i maybe get some hate for this one but : "13 reasons why" when you connect it with the sadness of the story, the intro gets very emotional

Haunting of hill house into is heaps good too! And sharp objects, and basically any HBO intro.

Calendar said October, this came out March. wow

I LOVEEEEEE The Crown's opening and of course GOT.

The Jessica Jones title sequence is hands down one of my favorites.

Im surprised at the lack of comment on innovative opening sequences pre-soprano. Twin peaks and the x-files were truly groundbreaking.

i really really like this video, just kinda bummed GOT and Hannibal was not even shown :(

Make a video on How Game Title Sequences Grew Up

Netflix DARK's intro is unskippanle and beautiful 💕

My favorite title sequence is Fringe. The Sci-Fi show told stories that span across multiple parallel universes and timelines, and each got its own style or color scheme for the title sequence. So each episode, as the sequence rolled, you immediately knew which universe or timeline would be the focus of that episode.

true detective is just a video version of the cover for the prince of Egypt if anyone has seen the art style earlier comment it

Didn't expect to see Halt and Catch Fire or Earl Sweatshirt get a nod here. Whoever wrote this video is cultured 😤

What song/music video is the one at 5:26?

I think I know why the revolution began! Kyle Cooper! He is the one who unlocked a new generation of title design

What about" Bosch "

No one mentioning Dexter? For me it's by far the best opening credits ever made!

5:34 CHILDISH GAMBINO

I used Adobe Too

What is that show where the woman is dragged away, quite early in the video?

Netflix has dope opening sequences. My favorite has to be from the Crown.
