Slow Horses intro is called Strange Game
Written and performed by Mick Jagger

Best? I always loved the rebooted battlestar galactica intro
Babylon 5 has the best intros to a show. It changed each season.
I’m a huge fan of shows that just have a title splash screen and play the intro credits unobtrusively over the first 1/3 of the show.
I always skip intros, if I can, mostly because I binge stuff and those intros can be minutes long, serving absolutely no purpose. I especially hate when they are 10+ minutes into the episode, and I have to wake my keyboard up to skip them.
Breaking Bad was good in this regard.
Best: Money Heist and more recently Arcane League of Legends
Dark has an amazing intro. So damn good.
So many to choose from (for best, I mean)… I’ll just say Jessica Jones and Boston Legal because I haven’t seen them here.
EDIT: Correction. I did see Jessica Jones, but I’m leaving it here because it’s just so gd amazing. Really it’s a masterpiece.
30 Rock, hands down. That jazzy into is just ti die for!
I’ve always thought that a bad intro song tanks a show (back when you couldn’t skip them). Conversely, a good one makes people stick around and give the show a chance, so it’s more likely to succeed.
Re: the OP question: Magnum PI (OG) SNL intro music 30ROCK Friends (ugh, I know, it was catchy…) Venture Bros. Archer Futurama …and more!
The Wire and True Detective both have great intros
Best: Gilligan’s Island, The Nanny, Green Acres, Get Smart, Underdog.
I’ll mention one that I don’t see. The song for What We Do In the Shadows is very catchy.
Voyager has the best opening theme music in all of Star Trek, hands down.
Personal favorite opening song/sequence? Space Ghost Coast to Coast also Knight Rider
Just the best for me
The Wire
The Unit
Futurama
Johny QuestFavourite intros:
- Vinyl TV show
- Season 1 of Bad Sisters
