My love of American Drama isn't all encompassing - I've tried and failed to get into Breaking Bad, and I'm still working on The Walking Dead - and British Drama is equally good, but today I noticed something about the shows I get hooked on. I'm always late to the party because I get in TV ruts and forget a lot, so my two favourites are streamed obsessively for a week and then left until the end of the next season for my next 'sesh'.
It's the title sequences. I like shows with off-kilter, not really linked to the show, weird, creepy title sequences. I'm talking about the beginnings of True Blood and American Horror Story. They set the atmosphere of the show without actually showing anything of the show. They aren't created by the same people, but they're both TVMA shows I think, so it must be the channel that's good at the formula rather than a specific person. Either way, they're ace sequences, with the right music and imagery to represent the shows.
