FBI
Dick Wolf's third franchise, after Law & Order and Chicago, and the parent of two spin-offs already catalogued here.
One opening sequence is catalogued for FBI, covering season 1.
It arrived on CBS in 2018, when Murphy Brown, Blue Bloods and NCIS: Los Angeles were also on the network.
The opening titles
Season 1
No usable clip verified. Searches return the 1965 series of the same name, which is documented separately, and the spin-offs.
More crime opening titles from the 2010s
1 sequence
Peaky Blinders
Nick Cave's 'Red Right Hand' over Birmingham furnaces and a man walking away from a fire — a period drama scored entirely out of period.
- Season 1
1 sequence
The Rookie
A five-second card: THE ROOKIE in tall white capitals over a row of Los Angeles palms against a hazy blue sky, and the episode is under way.
- Season 1
1 sequence
Better Call Saul
A title card that gets worse every year on purpose: tracking errors, colour bleed and tape damage accumulating season by season, so the picture degrades at roughly the rate its subject does.
- Seasons 1–6
1 sequence
Fargo
Snow, and the claim that this is a true story, which it is not — an anthology that opens every season by lying to you in a title card.
- Season 1
4 sequences
True Detective
Double-exposure portraits where the landscape is projected onto the people. Every season is reshot from scratch, so the titles change as completely as the cast does.

The Blacklist
Nine seconds and a card. A ten-season network procedural that never once made you wait to get into an episode.
