Twin Peaks. Lots of mood. The revival had several musical guests, too.
Angelo Badalamenti is super talented 🎶
Scrubs
I liked the ukulele songs about all the states.
Mr. ROBOT and Westworld have some amazing scores aside from the cover versions they provide.
The various versions of paint it black are fucking fantastic.
Mr Robot’s soundtrack is awesome, I remember the agonizing years waiting for the final volume to come out through all the red tape
Absolutely worth it
I really like the theme song and musical setting of Firefly. I’m not as hyped about the story now as I once was, but the music is still great.
WKRP in Cincinnati
The Drew Carey show
Livin in sin with a safety pin 🎶
yeah all the versions were great and I in particular liked the five o clock world opening.
Samurai Champloo has a good soundtrack.
It’s old but for a long time The Wonder Years supposedly couldn’t be released on home video because there were so many music licenses to get clearance for.
I wish they kept doing shows like that. Every ten years, try to make a decent, smart, earnest show about teenagers living twenty years prior.
Freaks and Geeks
Cliff Martinez does pretty good soundtracks, they even play on ambient radio stations sometimes. I remember his name ever since Solaris.
Exactly
I like shows that consequently and (almost) exclusively use actual songs made by real* artists. I remember Orange Is The New Black doing this. And The Wire. Russian Doll. Borat. The list is long.
I prefer shows that do not have a constant mood-setting musical soundtrack.
* a little debatable if their only known the track is the one from the show
It wasn’t a great show but the anime Kubikiri Cycle had a very interesting soundtrack, composed by Yuki Kajiura. Some examples:
-
Old-fashioned Fairy Tale (this one features her own language)
Black Sails
Utopia (the original british series) has a fucking amazing score.
White Lotus. The opening themes are all incredible, but all the background music perfectly sets the tone in every scene. Most of it is done by Cristobal, who apparently has had “creative differences” with the show’s creator for the show’s first three seasons. He’s had enough arguing and won’t be returning for the fourth season, which is honestly enough to make me skip it despite liking the show.
RWBY has an absolutely beastly original soundtrack
