10 Instantly Addictive TV Show Opening Credits
6. Dexter - A Murderer's Breakfast
Edgy, dark, but with a moderating heroic undertone, Dexter is a truly unique show that showed evil could be sexy. You know you are supposed to hate him, that you are supposed to vilify him, but you can't. So how better to show this unusual dichotomy of story telling than having the introduction be something both savagely violent and humorously mundane.
If your best friend told you that in watching Dexter you would become addicted to a surreal view of a man cooking breakfast and getting ready got work you'd probably call them crazy, but that's exactly what happens, and you love every minute of it when you put the show on.
The visceral cutting and slicing and pulverising of food and orange juice, the bloody and gory imagery. This brilliant introduction manages to show the violence in Dexter's "darkness" backed to punchy music. This is then perfectly topped with a casual wink, slyly indicating you are now a willing participant in his gruesome extra curricular activities.
