Used to fast forward through all the opening credits. Now I watch every single one.

For years I skipped every intro. Saved maybe 2 minutes per episode on a show like Succession. Then I started The White Lotus last month and realized the theme song and visuals actually tell you stuff about the characters and locations. Now I pay attention to the credits on every new show I binge. Has anyone else changed their habit on something small like this that actually improved the watching experience?

The theme from The Leftovers got me hooked on watching credits after skipping them for years... it just hits different when you let it play out while you process the episode. Now I catch little details in the art or music that I'd totally miss otherwise. Small change but it really makes the show feel more complete somehow.

Oh, isn't that the truth! It seems like the more we rush through life, the more we miss the small things that actually make it meaningful, whether it's lingering on a good song or just taking an extra minute to breathe between tasks.
