I just read this really interesting piece in Teh Grauniad & thought it'd be interesting to see your collective opinions/ choice on that "skip intro" feature.
Until recently the HBO streaming service here was HBOGO & didn't have the feature & I have to say that the theme to Succession was extraordinarily good. Now it's changed to Max, the feature's available &, although I use it more, I am tempted to give it a miss on new shows just to see what I'm missing
How about you lot?

I do wish there was setting to keep the end credits full screen for the duration.

Unless it's one of those shows that has different intros to each episode.

Quite a few streaming services I use have that feature, usually it's just hitting the credits screen that's flung off to the top left or right of the full screen. Have a crack at that.

By the end of Game Of Thrones the intro theme was almost longer than the episodes.
I'll maybe sit through the first time but after that I can't be done with it.
Especially the "previously on" BS that takes up way too much episode time for people with the memory of a goldfish

From time to time, I want to hear the theme song, but other times I’ll skip it. Hearing the theme song often gets me excited/sets the tone for whatever it is I’m about to watch.

It was so long that by the time it had finished it was time for the first set of adverts.

There are some idents with a little audio thing at the end of the credit that I never get bored of - "Bad Robot!", "Not a doctor" etc.

One thing I do hate is enforced trailers and pre-menu nonsense on physical media that I've bought.
fork off and let me watch my thing!

Depends on the intro I never skip the MASH intro. AKA Suicide is Painless. But some others yes
