All of them. I don't skip intros and I've never understood why anyone does.

Peacemaker
Such a catchy song! And the dancing is freaking hilarious. Brought a grin to my face every episode.

- Narcos
- Westworld

I cannot believe there's so many. And I'm sure I've missed a few. Damn
Dark. Westworld.
- Sons of Anarchy
- Bosch/Bosch:Legacy
- Alias
The rest I was going to suggest have been mentioned already!
Franklin. Whenever I watch that guilty pleasure cartoon, I will absolutely refuse to skip the intro no matter how many episodes I'm watching.
I didn't see anyone else mention this: Mob Psycho 100. Every one of those intros are bangers.
Supernatural and Peacemaker
Grimm. In the first few seasons they had very very short intros with little hints of what the story would be in it.
For me, Justified.
A lot of people dislike that song, but I love it. It's a nice 'new south' sound.

The Wire. The opening themes are pretty great (with the exception of Season 5) and for some intangible reason the intro always feels like a core part of setting me up emotionally for the episode. Especially with Season 4. The ominous and dark rendition from the Baltimore school kids feels like an essential mood setting piece for a very sobering season.
Ah yes good point. I love the variations of the song and the images would slowly change during each season.
Also, not skipping it was the best way to catch the coda/saying at the beginning.
Those epigraphs are so brilliant. I'm always on tenterhooks waiting for the line to come up in the episode.
Me too. And it always gives another layer of significance.
Damn that was some good writing.
Agreed about The Wire, but not about S5, I love that one too :-)
Watching through S5 for the first time right now and it's growing on me. I think I'm not keen on the vocalist? S2's theme was my favourite, which I believe is the original version of the song? Also I freaking love season 2. Genuinely think it's my favourite of the four I've watched.
Yeah S2 version is Tom Waits. Everyone made it their own though.
S3 for me.

Prime's Jack Ryan. It's hypnotic. Somebody put in a lot of work.
Not mentioned yet: Lie to Me intro. Love how they show little twitches and movements and close it with open emotions.
Oh, I never skip intros. I also don't usually watch multiple episodes in a row though, so maybe that's why.
All of them. Why would I skip an intro? Intros are cool, and, rarely, they might change, possibly for in-show reasons. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is famous for doing this, and even some American shows have taken after it in that regard.
