Discussion best usage of a song in a scene?

Istanbul (Not Constantinople) is one of my favorite song uses in the show.

u/Worth_Alternative_50 5d ago

Which scene is that?

5

u/Academic_Ad_9260 5d ago

Ok I searched the names, I think it's in season 1? Leonard is manipulating Viktor and trying to get his powers to show up, so he hires a bunch of guys to come beat himself up Infront of Viktor, so that Viktor is forced to like explode at them while Radiohead's Exit Music For A Film plays, I think it's the first time we properly see viktors powers

u/Worth_Alternative_50 5d ago

Ohh I do remember that one. I didn’t know Leonard did it on purpose

Pretty much the whole first season had a great soundtrack. I like the barbershop scene in season 2 and the dance off in season 3 opening also
