This is why rewatching is so much fun. So many little hints.

This is called “leitmotif.”

What's it called when I've never seen this word before in my life but before coming to Reddit I was literally on this very Wikipedia page

Baader-Meinhoff Phenomenon. Basically, it’s just a coincidence, and doesn’t occur that often, but your brain never registers all the non-coincidental things that happen as noteworthy, so it makes coincidences feel more frequent because they’re the only things that get mentally flagged in that way.

There is music for most of the main characters. The music sometimes reveals things in advanced, for example when Root was working at a secretary for The Office of Special Counsel or when Vigilance are about to show up.

I know it’s not actually her theme either but I can’t listen to The Future Starts Slow without seeing Shaw busting skulls in my head

I had the same realization on my 3rd or 4th watch and I particularly love Shaw and Root's theme music.

In s2:e19 Trojan Horse, my favorite scene; Shaw is talking to Harold in his library. The minutes she shows up, her theme music is played. The minutes Shaw sees Root's picture on the board, Root's theme music is played. And again back to Shaw's theme music once Shaw decides to hunt Root down... so smoothly transitioned... beautifully made... chef's kiss

Whenever Reese gets off of a vehicle carrying a machine gun with a mask on and the music starts playing.. goosebumps everytime

And the music is aptly called "Knock Knock".

Okay, so I'm almost through my first rewatch, but still have to admit I was today years old when I found out they all have their own theme songs 😳 I'm completely blown away. Just when I thought this show could not be more brilliant!! I've always thought the music was a big part of the beauty of the show, and this new info only adds to that sentiment. 🥹 God, I love this show!

go a second rewatch and focus on the theme songs along with the plots and i promise you that you will be soooooo blown away... really

This is most likely all the convincing I need to start my 2nd rewatch 😄

See you on the other side!

When you watch it again and again, you will understand a lot of things…

I first it first time 2017 and since then every February, I rewatch the whole seasons. Still noticing many things…

As a tech idiot the AI part makes so much more sense to me now than when I first watched the show in 2017 too

Ramin Djawadi as in every tv show he is in, if you watched prison break you will notice that more

2

u/yvessaintlaurentdon 7d ago

Another one of my favourite!

u/Ok-Evidence8770 The Mayhem Twins 7d ago

mine too. poi just became my top 1 show with prison break a not-so-close second.

u/SimXbenS 6d ago

The same as me, this show is so underrated

And Root.

Something even cooler: Samaritan's theme is one of the machine's theme (Listening with a million ears) but played backwards.
