On Paramount+, I watch the series "the good fight" (a series/sequel to "the good wife," where "an enormous financial scam has destroyed the reputation of young lawyer Maia Rindell, while simultaneously wiping out her mentor and godmother Diane Lockhart's savings. Forced out of Lockhart and Lee, they join Lucca Quinn at one of Chicago's preeminent law firms.") I'm only part-way through the second season (and I hold to the old tradition of watching one episode & then taking a 'long' break (usually just a day, rather than the standard week-or-so)), but that scam & savings-wipeout don't figure into the main plot (unless you know about them---i.e. they're THE REASON Baranski & Leslie's characters (Lockart & Rindell) HAVE to work at the 'just gaining its stature' (I'm not sure whether "racially diverse" was one of the reasons it was 'of lower status' before) Reddick, Boseman & Kolstad). But the opening-credits - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xWE5R6qEQQ - watching it on Paramount+, I'm usually given the option to "skip" the opening & get straight to the episode; but when I DO choose that, it only 'skips' about TWO SECONDS of the credits! So I have to assume that there's something important about 'all the office equipment spontaneously exploding.' Maybe it's a subliminal pronouncement of the Democratic (Capital-D ) faith-statement: that 'the things we construct' can all be destroyed at any time (for any reason or for no reason at all), and so you can only trust that people will survive by doing whatever they need to do. (as opposed to the Republican faith-statement (not necessarily Capital-R ... because that's not necessarily the same type of Republican as Political-Science would describe): 'the things constructed long ago' have lasted a long time (because We The People maintain them); so we will continue to maintain them, and they will continue to serve We The People well.) How do YOU interpret the opening-credits?

I see this as an introduction to the story.

How does 'a series of pieces of exploding office equipment' introduce 'a courtroom drama'?
