Dexter:
The opening sequence presents everyday tasks and events in a more sinister manner. This is achieved using extreme close ups on objects to create a darker perception of them.
It relates well to the themes within the show. These include, murder, lies, the sinister or scary etc. The opening encompasses those things hiding sinister and murderous elements within routine activities and in this case: getting ready for work.
The music adds a mischievous tone to it which juxtaposes the nature of the titles at face value. It creates an atmosphere of mystery and the way it transitions with the visuals compliments the revealing sinister nature of the eponymous character, Dexter, who is the focal point through out the opening.

Here you can see a timeline of the opening that I made on Word.
The use of reddish hues in the titles and backgrounds also adds a sinister tone as the colour red (in correlation with the seemingly sinister actions on screen) has connotations with blood and danger.
