Below, we're tracking each song the show deploys throughout the course of its first season.
I like coming from an unexpected place musically…"Īnd as Big Sky moves its twisty-turvy story forward, the music will keep pace. "What's so fun about working on this type of show is what one little twist of music can do to change how you feel about a character, story or plot. "There are so many amazing characters in the show…giving each of them a unique voice through music defines them even further and helps propel their story," Pine says. And the show makes it a point for each character to have musical cues to match-and in some cases, the music could even inform what's about to come or at least leave audiences wondering. In addition to the teens we see on a road trip, we've also got a couple private investigators, a weirdo state trooper, and a sociopathic trucker, among others.
With a cast that includes Kylie Bunbury (who previously starred in FOX's underrated sports series Pitch ), Ryan Philippe, and the great John Carroll Lynch ( Fargo, Zodiac, The Trial of the Chicago 7), Big Sky has the chance to be one of the fall season's breakout serial dramas, and the music makes sure to match the characters we see on screen. Music in a show either needs to make sense, or it needs to be shocking. If we're watching a couple teens embark upon a road trip, well, that's high time for some Lizzo. If we're watching a fight scene, the music feels like fight scene music. Set in a gorgeous, regal, Montana setting, Big Sky first and foremost wants its music to just feel right. Big Sky, marking Kelley's return to broadcast television, is looking to keep that music streak going. Even Ally McBeal, Kelley's legal hit from the '90s, had top-selling soundtrack albums released in coordination. He's currently also behind HBO's The Undoing, which has its own great music selections. Kelley has been behind a show deserving of acclaim for its musical offerings Kelley was at the helm for two seasons of HBO's Big Little Lies, which had a brilliant soundtrack to match its pitch black comedy/drama tone. This isn't the first time that showrunner David E. And as Big Sky continues, that principals proves truer and truer-with the music continuing to play an undeniable tonal role in the wild events taking place on-screen. When Leah hosts a party for the high school drama crowd, Nick wrestles with a romantic dilemma Andrew and Missy witness a disturbing scene. It was written by Emily Altman, Mark Levin & Jennifer Flackett and directed by Bryan Francis. It is the eighth episode of the series overall.
The juxtaposition of the two women's moods works from the first moment in almost the same way that damn song that always plays in Black Mirrorworks in that show what we're seeing doesn't match the mood on screen. 'The Head Push' is the eighth episode of the first season of Big Mouth. In a diner set scene, we see two main characters-one feeling happy, one feeling incredibly downtrodden-as a feel-good oldie song plays over the acti0n. Music plays a role from the very first moment of ABC's new thriller series Big Sky.
