Nicholas Britell: Knowing the score
CBSN
When you watch a TV series on a streaming service, you can click "Skip Intro" to bypass the opening credits. But if you do that on HBO's "Succession," you'll miss one of the best parts: the theme music! It's like classical with a hip-hop beat.
Composer Nicholas Britell won an Emmy for his "Succession" score. The show is about a deeply damaged family of billionaires, so Britell wanted the theme to sound a little off. "The pianos are outta tune with each other," he said. "The strings are a little bit off. This should feel kinda like something's a little wrong here."
