I remember really liking a lot of Morrison's run on Doom Patrol. I've had the series marked as "to watch" for quite a while now. There a lot of items ahead of it in the queue, though.
Speaking of which, I blazed through Chernobyl earlier this week. Normally it might have taken me half a month or more to finish. Amazing and horrifying.
I might be approaching the point where I'll watch anything Jared Harris is in, especially if his character is doomed (like in The Terror).

Anyway, I've noticed the same jarring soundtrack problem in some of the Umbrella Academy episodes. Boney M, The Stranglers and Styx songs just didn't work for me as background for a series set in 1963.
I could maybe give The Stranglers tune a pass as it sounds like some something from the later psychedelic era of the 1960s and therefore sort of in the period ballpark. I suppose it's all meant as emotional shorthand reinforcing the thrust of a scene. Or maybe it's just some wanky chasing of Guardians of the Galaxy's mixtape and its success at drumming up money for old songs.
