If you liked Halt and Catch Fire and the music therein, make sure to check out the soundtrack, it's available on bandcamp[0]. I listen to it when I want ~medium to high focus when working, and sometimes to get me "in the mood" so to speak.

Speaking of music, while this show has so many amazing things going for it, one of the best is the intro sequence and the theme music. That puts it on rare footing with shows like Mad Men and Covert Affairs. I know Netflix puts this button on everything, but I never use the "Skip Intro" button on these series.

  I had to look up the guy that actually designed it, and I realized they have pretty much made all the intro cinematics I adore from TV shows. Westworld, American Gods, Man in the High Castle and Halt and Catch Fire. https://www.artofthetitle.com/designer/raoul-marks/ https://www.artofthetitle.com/designer/raoul-marks/ https://www.artofthetitle.com/title/halt-and-catch-fire/ https://www.artofthetitle.com/title/halt-and-catch-fire/

    Huh, really. I haven't gotten around to watching American Gods, and Westworld isn't my thing, but I also enjoyed the title sequence for The Man in the High Castle. It isn't one of the ones I'd watch every time, just because it's so chilling, but I do very much enjoy it. The show itself was incredible, of course, and also has a bit of a chilling feeling to it. It's a perfect fit.

      Nice thing about the title sequence for The Man in the High Castle is that it doubles as an prologue in setting the story. Much nicer than having to read (or have narrated) a background story to get things started.

Halt and Catch Fire is the only show I ever watched where I watched the intro[0] for every episode. The beat is perfect with the animation. It being 30 seconds also helps. [0]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yD_kCKiSkoI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yD_kCKiSkoI
