Kana -> RE: Best TV intro ever (4/3/2016 3:17:20 AM)

I'll expand a bit past theme song and say this is the single greatest opening scene for a series ever. Captures the entire run in one quick shot, the hopelessness, the gallows humor, the strength to go on in face of tragedy, our insanely surreal acceptance of violence and chaos in modern life, just fucking everything

Or as the writers put it:
"...The America of "The Wire" is broken, in a fundamental, probably irreparable way. It is an interconnected network of ossified institutions, all of them so committed to perpetuating their own business-as-usual approach, that they keep letting their own equivalents of Snot Boogie into the game, simply because that's how it's always been done. It doesn't matter that it makes no sense. Only a rugged individualist/cocky narcissist like McNulty would even think to suggest that things could and should be run differently."
