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.
Best: Money Heist and more recently Arcane League of Legends
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.
Dark has an amazing intro. So damn good.
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!
I’ll mention one that I don’t see. The song for What We Do In the Shadows is very catchy.
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.
Just the best for me
The Wire
The Unit
Futurama
Johny QuestThe Wire and True Detective both have great intros
Best: Gilligan’s Island, The Nanny, Green Acres, Get Smart, Underdog.
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
Favourite intros:
- Vinyl TV show
- Season 1 of Bad Sisters
