I remember Heroes starting the trend of a shorter title card, however, so Netflix may surely have contributed but I've been thinking about this trend for a while. I actually don't wholly disapprove, since not all theme songs are created equal, nor are all title sequences.
There was also the True Blood trend of title cards (killer song, that), of which TB was not the first but stands out to me, where all the titles followed the vaguely sexual vaguely bloody association of disparate artistically famed photography/images. Now I feel like I watch title songs when they really catch me—like I dig Only Murders in the Building theme song and title cards. And the Pixies cover of "Que Sera Sera" is more reliable than any given episode of "From." Every time I mean to skip it I end up listening all the way through, and that's an ambitiously long title.
