Two of my favorite recent TV theme songs from the past five years: 1) The Mandalorian, by Ludwig Goransson, which is the best Star Wars theme since the Duel of the Fates. 2) Foundation, by Bear McCreary, which is also great. Hans Zimmer's theme for The Crown is also quite good. I actually think a lot of prestige streaming dramas (which expensive-looking credits) have pretty good theme music. Schitt's Creek also had a really great outro theme.

100%. A lot of newer shows have great themes, but we're not listening to them week in/week out the way we used to, because we (collectively) don't have to.

Someone up thread mentioned Hill St. Blues. I'll bet it's been 30+ years since I've seen an epsiode or heard the theme, yet I instantly had it in my head. If you aksed me to do the same with The Mandalorian, I couldn't do it.
