Mad Men Music

I recently just finished Mad Men and though I didn’t really know what to expect other than seeing Jon Hamm. It takes place in the 1960s and 1970s and focuses on an advertising company and one particular man, Don Draper (Jon Hamm). Obviously because of the time in which it take place, there is some serious discrimination and harassment that is present throughout the series. Needless to say that my liberal female self was pretty angry while watching it – but that didn’t take away from my opinion of it. This definitely isn’t a show for you if you’re used to climatic plots but it really is a testament to the times – especially for us who were not alive during those times.

Orange is the New Black Soundtrack

Orange is the New Black is another one of Netflix’s hit original series. It focuses on one privileged woman’s unfortunate journey to prison after getting involved with her ex-girlfriend’s criminal past. The show focuses on a few other characters and how they ended up in prison. One thing I really appreciate about Orange is the New Black is the diversity of women within it and how authentically they portray their characters. Though I didn’t expect it, Orange is the New Black has really great music for the subject matter being about prison.

Gossip Girl Music

Gossip Girl… oh Gossip Girl… I didn’t start watching this show well until after it was over – like three years until after it was over. This was mostly due to the fact that I was ten years old when it first aired and my older sister, who watched it religiously, threw a pillow at my head whilst yelling “You’re too young to watch Gossip Girl” as I tried to sneak in her room every time I tried to watch it. But that’s the beauty of Netflix.

Chewing Gum Soundtrack

Chewing Gum, as you can probably tell by the title, is a comedy television show staring the great Michaela Coel. To be quite honest I didn’t know who she was until I watched this show but since watching it - it’s like she’s everywhere I look. Since staring in Chewing Gum, which is produced by Netflix, she has appeared in both Black Mirror and the new Star Wars: The Last Jedi. But I say all this because it shows just how good the show is!

How to Get Away with Murder Soundtrack

Shonda Rhimes is a genius for even thinking of this show – it’s probably my favorite out of all the ones she’s created, which is why I have saved this post for last. How to Get Away with Murder focuses on the great Annalise Keating, a lawyer and law professor that gets involved with a group of her students – “gets involved” is probably an understatement but we’ll just leave it at that to avoid any spoilers.

Grey's Anatomy Soundtrack, pt. 1

So, I thought that because Grey’s Anatomy is essentially double the length of a normal show’s length, that I would dedicate two posts to the show. Just to remind you once again, Shonda Rhimes ties all these posts together because she has basically created every show that airs on ABC...no not really but she might as well because they're so good!!! As you can tell by its title, Grey’s Anatomy focuses on a group of surgical doctors(ridiculously good looking doctors)in Seattle, but particularly on the life of Meredith Grey.

Scandal Soundtrack

It’s Shonda Rhimes Week!!!!! And if by some miracle, you don’t know who that is … she created the hit television shows Grey’s Anatomy, How to Get Away with Murder, and Scandal – which, by the way, are ALL available on Netflix.  

Stranger Things Soundtrack

This sci-fi drama is one of the most talked about shows of the moment – not only because of the cute eleven year-old actors but because of the era in which it takes place. The show centers around three boys and their supernatural friend that try to help after their friend goes missing mysteriously in the 80s.

Reign Soundtrack

This TV drama that originally aired on the CW Network adapts the tumultuous and dramatic life of Mary, Queen of Scots. The show takes place in both France and Scotland where Mary reigned in her lifetime. The picturesque setting of the show in combination with the modern take on 16^th century fashion goes perfectly with the music choices that are featured. 

The Crown Soundtrack - Season 2

To be perfectly honest, I am a sucker for anything and everything that involves British accents. So, it was no wonder when I fell in love with The Crown and watched the first season in a little over a week. I’m not sure if it was the sass of young Queen Elizabeth or the charm and slight disdain of Prince Phillip but it was definitely, at least in part, due to the dramatic and beautiful music featured.
