Enjoyed the first 3 episodes aired on US Television...but do not recall the insipid 'all female singers of folk and slow tunes' that drolls over an otherwise successful revival of a good show. Don't know if I'll continue watching because of this one very annoying plague. While I enjoy ALL types of music/genres/artists...it is glaringly apparent that the person designating this repetitive and soapy soundtrack does not. I am a fan of many of the musical artists. I own recordings by the likes of Mary Gautier , Lucinda Williams and Lori McKenna! But to have them lined up in such a fashion does not lend to atmosphere, plot advancement or motif...rather it detracts in the way elevator music works, only worse.
Please switch it up! There are thousands of great songs out there.
And as an aside to the writers: I also recall that the character of Jackson was not quite as daft as it's being written in the new shows. There is little need to have him making so many errors in judgement in order to build suspense or conflict. There are other devices.
If someone reading this could pass my remarks along...perhaps we can improve a few future episodes.
