    Scrubs immediately comes to mind, though it’s not a very current reference. I still listen to Colin Hay thanks to these scenes. And this one.

      The music choices were almost always spot on, exactly matching the tone of the scene

        I was sad when I learned the episodes now available on streaming don’t have the same music - apparently the rights expired and they had to change many/all of the songs. I only checked one episode and immediately went back to my low-res, offline copy

          I still watch from my old DVD rips even though they’re all standard definition because the music is intact (as far as I’ve ever noticed).

          Similar happened with the The State but before there was even a DVD release. When the episodes aired their had access to so much music through MTV that it became a big part of the show. It’s not the same without some of it.

    Silicon Valley. The songs they played at the end of every episode were pretty much universally bangers.

    Not a show, but Tales From the Borderlands introduced me to Jungle, possibly my favourite music artist right now, as well as a few other gems.

    Breaking Bad & Atlanta both had many new discoveries for me. Twin peaks s3 had some amazing music but I was aware of the majority of the artist beforehand

    Edit: add Sharp Objects. Amazing sound design and found a few new gems

      Katey Sagal’s cover of Bird on a Wire is one of most extraordinary things ever recorded. Tears every time.

      Songs of Anarchy is pretty brilliant all around.

      Sons of anarchy had some really good cover versions of songs (or a specific song I don’t remember)

      It was very good but rubbed me the wrong way for some weird random reason

      Justified introduced me to modern gangsta crossover folk music

    Definitely Arcane for a start. I’ll probably think of others later.

    Smallville always had well curated songs for each episode… at the time some were fairly obscure bands

    Letterkenny introduced me to Japanther, Black Mountain, DZ Deathrays, and a bunch of other bands that would never hit my recommendations on any streaming services.
