Cowboy bebop is awesome.

RWBY's OST has no business being as good as it is.

The Mandalorian OST is great too.

Also a mention for One Punch Man OST, specifically Genos's theme, my man looks like a total badass and his theme really complements the fights right up until he lets his guard down and gets flattened every fucking time.

    Mr. ROBOT and Westworld have some amazing scores aside from the cover versions they provide.

    I always listen through the Adventure Time ending. The only thing that ruins it is the production company messages at the end that cut the song off abrubtly.

    Twin Peaks. Lots of mood. The revival had several musical guests, too.

    Battlestar Galactica! All of the themes for the various characters fit really well, and the taiko-style drums during space battles, which at first might seem stylistically a bit strange, work amazingly well to amp up the sense of urgency.

    The drums add crazzzzy tension to those battles and totally capture the "Well, I guess now we have to wait a whole 45 seconds before that giant salvo of missiles we can all see clear-as-crystal closes in another 2 clicks towards our position and absolutely nukes us" vibe of it all.

    I've always thought that BSG's combat scoring was influenced by the combat music from the OG Homeworld game, which itself is ultra loosely based on the 70's BSG show.

    The Taskmaster intro always hypes me up for every episode

    Also the Curb Your Enthusiasm theme could not fit any more perfectly. To this day every time I see the static noise before any HBO show I expect to hear "bum Bum BUM daaaaaaah..."

    That's Alex Horne's band, "The Horne Section" in case you weren't aware

    The theme itself is ‘Frolic’ by Luciano Michelini, composed in 1974 for the film ‘La bellissima estate’ and used since then in some advertisements, in which Larry David had heard it. ‘Curb’ generally uses several old ‘production music’ pieces, i.e. those from a music library for films, tv and such. ‘It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia’ also does this.

    I was talking about the Taskmaster theme. Thought it was clear since I mentioned Alex Horne. The guy who basically created (and hosts) the show.

    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.

    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.

    The criminally underrated Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles had some absolutely gorgeous music. As an example, I think “Sarah Connor’s Theme” is achingly beautiful: https://youtu.be/sJk8BjEkmx0

    Really fit the series, too which, while not being short of wit and action, always had a seriously melancholy undercurrent.

    Probably Michael Giacchino's score for the show Lost. I felt like I was watching a movie. If we're talking about anime, then Evan Call's score for Frieren: Beyond Journey's End

    Utopia (the original british series) has a fucking amazing score.

    Generally the only TV show I ever really think about the music for is Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Sick intro theme, and my all time favorite episode of anything is Once More, With Feeling, the musical episode.

    Max Richter and his score for The Leftovers is great.

    Second someone else mention Westworld, which is the same composer as GoT: Ramin Djawadi

    There's others I very much enjoy but these two are worth commenting

    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.

    The Blacklist had a pretty dope soundtrack.

    Edit: definitely not "original" music though.

    Best use of music has to be Supernatural for sure
