12. The Leftovers (HBO)

Max Richter’s compositions defined the tone of The Leftovers and enhanced its emotional weight. Tracks like On the Nature of Daylight captured the grief and loss that ran through the story. The Pixies’ Where Is My Mind? added layers of meaning to moments of existential reflection. Richter’s music created an atmosphere of sorrow and hope that matched the show’s themes. The score worked seamlessly with its visuals to amplify the emotions of each scene. Without this haunting and reflective music, the show would not have achieved the same depth or impact on its audience.
