That opening song is a pain in the ear to listen to every episode ...


If there is anything that doesn't sound like colonzing mars is that awful theme song to this series. It's horrible and actually hurts my ears.

I don't mind Nick Cave but I don't know why they went for a "True Detective" rip off opening. THAT bothers me every time.

Glad someone mentioned this!

Fortunately, the opening is exactly 3 presses of the 'FF 30 seconds' button on my remote, so it's all good. :-)

My biggest gripe: It's as slow and pointless as most of the writing and acting. They didn't even try to make it adventurous or anything? Weird choice.

Are you talking about piano nokturno? I also desperately want to know about that piece

I found it out: Its Gnossienne No.1 from Erik Satie's 3 Gnossiennes

Every time I hear the opening, I just think how much the song sounds nothing like I would expect to hear for a show about space travel, pioneering and new frontier type of things.
