The new Netflix series, Legends, is created by Neil Forsyth, the writer behind The Gold. It’s a true story set in the 1990s, following regular customs officers who bravely went undercover to infiltrate dangerous drug operations.
The series not only looks like it’s set in the ’90s, but it feels like it too, thanks to a fantastic soundtrack filled with music from that decade’s most popular artists.
Forsyth explained that when recreating the era, he didn’t want to portray the 1990s with overly nostalgic or rose-tinted glasses.
He remembered the 1990s as a lively and energetic time – think tracksuits, club culture, and a real sense of freedom. He wanted his work to reflect that same energy.
The series features a variety of songs and artists, and stars actors like Steve Coogan, Tom Burke, and Hayley Squires. But what music is included, and who wrote the score?
