19. Friday Night Lights (NBC)

The music in Friday Night Lights reflects the dreams and struggles of smalltown life. Explosions in the Sky composed a score that feels intimate and heartfelt. Tracks like Your Hand in Mine enhance the emotional weight of key moments on and off the football field. Tony Lucca’s Devil Town adds to the show’s sense of place and identity. The music connects deeply with the characters’ hopes, failures, and relationships. Each song feels like a natural part of the story and setting. Without the music, the show would not achieve the same emotional depth or authenticity.
