This title sequence grabbed my attention as something new and different.It is full of enigma codes of what the show is about. It also seems to have been inspired by the work of saul bass. The first thing that I was reminded of was Saul Bass's opening to vertigo, with the visual disorientation which to me looked quite similar. Another was Saul Bass's North by Northwest, with a similar style and representation of the Manhattan skyline.
When the silhouette falls, the slow, laid back place suggests a dream like state, and the pace of everything else flashing by past him could be representing his life flashing by his eyes, connoting a near death situation. This matches the whole image of the man falling from the sky.
I also liked the whole approach taken with the silhouette and modern cartoon style but it was not too technological or advanced
