    Loving it so far. I don't know if you can see in on YouTube, but on my TV when watching in the dark, the opening credits have little grains and specs, especially noticeable near the end of the credits.

    And the title type face reminds me of Stephen King novels from the 80's, as a similar typeface was used on his books from that era.

    • Yeah... Totally spotted that King book font treatment... Thought it was a nice touchPonyBoy
    • Completely different fonts.monospaced
    • no shit, mono... it paid homage... yes totally different fonts... but the S and R placement etc...
      again... a nice touch      PonyBoy
    • pretty standard 70's/80's horror film fonts.fadein11
    • The 'grains' and 'specs' treatment...been seeing that a lot the last few years. Mostly just people being retro / trendy—but here it's lovely / purposeful. <3 itPonyBoy
    • This has so much going for it, I'm sad there are only 8 episodes. Firing up episode 3 now!elahon
    • not exactly official... but it looks like Modine let it slip that there will be a second season, elahon: http://screencrush.c…PonyBoy
    • PonyBoy chill, no need to lash out at me with curse words just because the fonts look nothing alike. Same time period is the "no shit" here.monospaced
    • Your consistent 'corrective tone' needs to fucking "chill", mono... that and your 'captain obvious' comments are damn near as annoying as yuri at times. smhPonyBoy
    • @elahon i love watching this in the dark as well. :)sea_sea
    • Im a type nerd on a design site. The fonts are different. That's what I said. You got bent out of shape like a child.monospaced
    • And you're delusional if you think I'm corrective in nature. Must be thinking of someone else. I don't go around like a cunt correcting spelling like some jerksmonospaced
    • Nobody said it was the exact font but paying homage to the era... your statement was obvious an unnecessary... and corrective. Never Change, mono. :)PonyBoy
    • Sorry you felt that way, but I feel the same about your response to me. I didn't see my comment as anything but a discussion on what typeface it was.monospaced
    • lots of feelings going on here...
      ... up for a hug, young fella? c'mon... bring it in.... briiiiiing it in. <3 sorr sorr, mono <3      PonyBoy
    • I didn't notice any corrective tone - he just knew what the font was... jesus of all the shit that goes down on here to get annoyed about that ha.fadein11
    • Fade... Did you need captain 'no shit' to explain those fonts weren't the same?PonyBoy
    • Why do you keep calling me captain 'no shit?' I don't have a habit of going around making corrections and stating the obvious. Relax.monospaced
    • wow, dude, I respect a lot this intro, have to see the show nowfeel
