Question TV shows with great soundtracks

[davewebbsbrain]

The wife is watching Waterloo Road from the start and I've noticed there is a lot of music played during each show. A lot of it is Indie and bloody good too.

What shows do you watch that have great music sound tracks?

 

[Shrimpers are Magic]

Joe 90

 

[Mad Cyril]

Cobra Kai.

 

[KevinJH]

Peaky Blinders

Anything that has a soundtrack from that era, like say Call The Midwife, which has some excellent late-fifties songs or Life on Mars, with it's seventies backdrop.

Call the Midwife is well into the 60s now, I like that the music moves with the times.

Incidentally, plenty of shows have used tracks by the Rifles as part of their musical background - loads and loads of Gavin and Stacey episodes (James Corden is a big fan); Tom Kerridge's cookery programmes; Mary Berry and Sky Sports. All ok by me.

The first three series were set in late 1950's, I thought, with the first in 1957, though it has now reached the mid-sixties in series 8, I agree.

 

[Supernaut]

The Prisoner, The Sweeney, Breaking Bad, Les Revenants

 

[Mad Cyril]

The Sopranos.

 

[Benfleet A1]

Grandstand.

 

[KevinJH]

Although I never watched it, my other half liked Heartbeat and that always got my feet tapping in the other room where I'd be doing something else when it was on....

 

[Mad Cyril]

Grandstand.

World of Sport and Sportsnight.

 

[MK Shrimper]

Just started watching End of the F'ing World. That's got some pretty decent music

 

[Southminster Shrimper]

Band of Brothers

 

[kaymac]

Robinson Crusoe (1960s)
Hawaii 5-0 (original series)

Small footnote. I have a client who had a more than decent role in B of B.

[Tangled up in Blue]

Love Shazam for this sort of stuff.

Nothing more annoying than hearing something playing in the background of a drama and thinking "who the hell did this!"
