The Times asked the creative forces behind five returning fall shows to break down their best needle drops.
In an excruciatingly tense and slow-building scene from Sam Esmail’s paranoid techno-thriller, Scott Knowles , an executive at the conglomerate E Corp, brings a duffel bag stuffed with millions of dollars in ransom money to a drop-off point in downtown Manhattan, then sets it ablaze as gawkers look on — all as Phil Collins’ “Take Me Home” plays on the soundtrack.
Esmail had originally considered using score for this scene but, he says, “it often felt like it was telegraphing suspense instead of building it.” So he opted for a light-hearted pop song instead. “The clash of tones created an interesting contrast that nailed the perfect blend of dynamism and tension.” “Take Me Home,” he adds, “had the benefit of feeling entirely unexpected while also maintaining an underlying frenetic energy that created suspense in such a unique way.
” — is “at the soul” of everything he makes. “I can’t think of my favorite parts of ‘Mr. Robot’ without thinking of the music first.”: Season 2, “Dark Side of the Boob”” uses hilariously raunchy original songs, from the Gloria Gaynor-esque “I Love My Body” to the Queen-inspired “Totally Gay,” to explore puberty in all its mortifying glory.
Rivers was told to go for a menacing vibe with “Shame"; it was his idea for a chorus reminiscent of the Beatles or David Bowie. “The whole vibe of the song changes to a melancholy pop song, which I think makes the character a bit more sympathetic. David Thewlis provided a great vocal and the song came out nicely, comically dark, I think.”
