I really love the way this one just STARTS. Like you're thrown into it. I'd argue that S1 and ESPECIALLY S3 have at least a couple seconds to let you prepare before the imagery floods in.

1 season opening was wonderful for me

The war was lost The treaty signed I was not caught I crossed the line I was not caught Though many tried I live among you Well disguised I had to leave My life behind I dug some graves You'll never find The story's told With facts and lies I had a name But never mind Never mind Never mind I had to leave my life behind The story's told With facts and lies You own the world So never mind My woman's here My children too Their graves are safe From ghosts like you In places deep With roots entwined I live the life I left behind The war was lost The treaty signed I was not caught I crossed the line I was not caught Though many tried I live among you Well disguised

art's fine, music is terrible - especially since season 1's music was so good
