This HBO satirical classic has a huge fan-following around the world that is growing despite dropping an episode a week at a time when full seasons are dropped on OTTs. Long after the song is over, you still feel it lurking in your consciousness, reminding you of the themes it holds within. Similarly, Devlin’s modern interpretation of Jimi Hendrix’s blues rock cover of the Bob Dylan classic ' All Along The Watchtower' gives The Young Pope just the oomph it needs to radiate the contrasts between religiosity and irreverence. It is so easy to instantly recognise Ramin Djawadi’s iconic opening credits of HBO’s Game of Thrones. Take for instance RJD2’s ' A Beautiful Mine,' whose first chord would instantly transport us to the world of Mad Men. Very few shows actually have title themes that are so powerful and alluring that they stand tall despite all the drama or comedy that ensues. The song resonates with the glorious dissonance amongst the characters of the show, causing you to irresistibly head bang for the first four bars of the song (at least). It is a trippy tune that is both rich in its dark classical sound from the 1700s, yet groovy like Coolio was composing it on a Steinway. The resounding downbeat-helmed introduction of Nicholas Britell’s Succession theme is an unmistakable earworm that you believe remains with you long after the opening credits. If Adele could get Spotify to remove its Shuffle option for her album, surely a wishful global petition should make streaming platforms (like Disney+ Hotstar in India) delete that wretched “Skip Intro” button from a show like Succession.
