This week's Thursday Movie Picks is TMP Television Edition - TV Score and/or Theme Song
---
We did the same TMP two years ago and I thought enough time has passed for you to have seen newer shows with great score or theme song. Here are four of my favourites.
Succession (2018-2023)
I haven't seen the latest season but have always liked the opening theme song...lots of tension and spiralling keys.
WeCrashed (2022)
The opening theme song is catchy and the lyrics fit quite well with the show and I love the opening sequence too with the unicorn walking around the office
Moon Knight (2022)
I love the Moon Knight theme, which gets played at the end credits of the first episode and variations of it is also usually played when the character transforms. While I only enjoyed the first half of the series, the second half is a mess reminding me so much of Legion another series about a Marvel character, the score for this series is great. It sounds truly cinematic...and also the visuals...do watch the end credits sequence because it is stunning and has different tracks playing for each episode.
Slow Horses (2022 - )
I love this series. It's a fun spy drama that has sharp dark humor and when I first heard the theme song sung by Mick Jagger I thought it was soo perfect for the series. It was only later that I found out that it's perfect because it was written specifically by Jagger for the series. Unlike the other series I've picked, I'm not posting the credit scene where the theme song is played, instead I'm attaching the official lyric video Jagger released. Look at the lyrics...it reflects so much of the story and humour of the show.

Not heard of a few of these so thanks for the recommendations.. Slow Horses sounds interesting, will have to check it out...
ReplyDeleteMan I'm late here but enjoyed listening to these. Succession seems to be leading this week. I'd love to see Strange Game..I love SPY shows and love Gary Oldman
ReplyDeleteActually Strange Game is the name of the theme song, the TV series is called Slow Horses.
DeleteI really enjoyed Moon Knight. And I want to check out Succession, I've heard so much about it.
ReplyDeleteSuccession recently had their last season which is why it’s talked about a lot in the media.
