I started watching season 1 some time ago, and will probably go back to it at some point...but the music honestly for me has greatly dragged this show down. I get tired of every new portentous and overdone (yet musically simplistic) cue. How I wish a non-Zimmerite could have gotten this assignment. Sorry but that's just how I feel!
Thankfully other Netflix shows have much superior music, particularly Carlos Rafael Rivera's score for Godless. Apparently his mentor was Randy Newman: https://news.usc.edu/79220/who-wouldnt-want-randy-newman-as-a-musical-mentor/

Very clever use of a John Barry Seven song in one episode wherein the Queen is criticized for being old-fashioned and insensitive to the English people.
The Queen makes a broadcasted speech that is rather staid and basically thanks the English people for partaking in their drab, miserable lives. A publisher in a dental waiting room hears this speech, which is immediately by John Barry singing "Let's Have a Wonderful Time."
In addition to the ironic nature of the song's lyrics and upbeat nature of the tune, the song is fairly representative of bland pre-Beatles rock n roll.
One of the interesting things about John Barry's career is that he represented both that pre-Beatles style of the fifties, and the swinging sixties sound via his cool, bold, and highly original music for James Bond, the Ipcress File, the Knack, and so many more.
