I've been watching True Blood for the last few weeks and although the plot's as daft as anything, the opening title song is an absolute killer (Bad Things by Jace Everett). In fact, I reckon the opening line is one of the best opening lines ever written as it nails the darker vibe of the show in eight words: "When you came in, the air went out"
As an aside, the overall sound design is excellent, as the ambient sounds, as well as the accompanying score, always seem to enhance what you're seeing on screen. For example, every outdoor scene comes with all the noises you'd expect to hear from nature in those parts of the woods; heck, sometimes you hear all that nature in some indoor scenes as well, like if there's a window open or whatever. In some ways, it's not surprising what with it being an HBO production and all. The action in the rear channels tends to be nature and atmospheric but sometimes you get actual action as well. Regardless, it's a hoot of a show with an excellent theme song and excellent sound design to match.
