Recently started watching old 90s and 80s shows just for the fun of it, because I’m bored with all of the new stuff that’s coming out, and I fell into Knight Rider.
My review of the show so far aside, it’s got straight up the most banger theme music I have heard in a TV show in a very long time.
It got me wondering what other TV shows have really great theme songs?
My college professor gave me the first book of the Game of Thrones series, and I hated it so much.
And because of that, I just, I’ve never watched the series. Some friends of mine had it on midway through the first episode, and the only time that it caught my attention was when there were titties on the screen. Like, I do not give the first fuck about Game of Thrones.
I have yet to see either the Expanse or Foundation.
I have them both in my to watch list, but I can’t really comment on their themes yet.
But Severance? I’ve watched every episode of Severance, I could not tell you what the theme song is from that show. Even if it’s really good, it’s also very, very forgettable, which, admittedly, probably fits with the theme of the show very well.
Huh. I have also seen every episode and I can’t recall the theme music at all. I know it had an intro because I remember thinking the visuals were cool but I can’t bring back a single snippet of the music. Weird.
edit: I had to look it up because it was bothering me. As soon as it started playing I remembered it, I actually think it’s a fantastic theme song. It’s spare and unsettling, which is perfect for the show but I can kinda feel why it’s hard to recall. I’m glad you pointed it out.
