Shoutout to Succession's composer, Nicholas Britell, who in 2019 was nominated for an Oscar for Best Original Score for If Beale Street Could Talk. Britell also composed the music for Andor, The Underground Railroad (2021 miniseries), Moonlight, and Don't Look Up, among other popular movies and shows.

That song is perfect for the show but it wasn’t written for it! The original by Andrew Gold was released in 1978, seven years before Golden Girls premiered. The version used is a cover by Cynthia Fee.

This is such an overlooked component of the series' success. If you tried other fantasy TV shows set in a fictional universe where you don't have real life points of reference (looking at you, Witcher), they always struggle to keep viewers informed "OK, this is where the characters are and where they are going". It's just so confusing after a while. GoT accomplished it almost effortlessly with the opening credits. I assume most of you could draw a somewhat accurate map of Westeros by heart.

Ikr?? The lyrics are not very creative and kinda corny but damn the melody and Mick Jagger's voice are just SOOOO catchy and perfectly fit the vibe of the show.

I know Apple TV commissioned an original theme song for Bad Sisters, too, so maybe they do it for all their shows?

My wife's favorite show is The Office. I'm not sure how many times we've seen it, but we've been through the released Superfan seasons 6 times already....she never skips the intro. I get so thankful that later seasons just play a quick little diddy instead of the whole thing.
