They are all boring AF and you are lucky to have the shows title cards flash on screen for like 5 seconds

One part no one cares another part its easier to do them instead of getting a song writer to create a new catchy song.

Gotta get right to the show and not waste time. Plus they were meant to let people know it's on if they're in the other room, whereas now they can be watched any time

Not if they're HBO programs though. They've never made a bad intro in their history, even if the shows were trash.

Unskippable, same as GoT and yeah also Peacemaker.

how much did tv shows change since the rise of netflix/etc?
less and less intros, i dunno about commercials but shows back then allotted some time for them
some episodes seemed to have been built for a commercial break before a big reveal/twist

The lack of dedicated commercial breaks is really annoying

Now ads just cut right into the middle of a scene, or even a sentence

Like, you'll be watching merrily along and then BAM
"HI! I'M STEPHANIE, AND WHAT I LOVE ABOUT CHICK-FIL-A IS THEIR FOOD IS SOOOOOOOOOOOO ORGASMIC"

It's enough to induce murderous rage
