Best TV theme songs from this century

Trying to steer clear of childhood favorites, what about TV themes from more recent series? I really like the theme from Unforgotten.

Succession

For TV soundrack, The Bear

My personal, however

The Cheers theme song was catchy

Severance

In terms of prime time shows, I’d say the Parks and Rec and 30Rock themes were pretty good.

Technically I think Sopranos started last century, but had most of its run in this one, so that probably qualifies.

Probably not my favorite song, but I liked what they did with the theme for The Wire, where it was the same song, different recordings for each season. That seemed to fit well with the arc of the show, where there was continuity across the show but each season focused on a different aspect of Baltimore.

Yeah, lots of great songs here. I’ll add one composer, Hannes De Maeyer, who did both the theme for the UK remake of Professor T and the Flemish original.

The song from Money Heist. Only theme song I never skipped.

I’ll add in a recent one, Mobland.

Are you including this because Twin Peaks:The Return qualifies it?

Not saying it’s not a great theme, but Twin Peaks began in 1990

Fair enough

MobLand

Bloodline

Just saw this.

Perfection.
