Free’s ‘Oh I Wept’ used in sci-fi thriller....

[John Cellario 21]

Anyone been watching ‘Devs’ on BBC2? It’s a stylish sci-fi thriller set in San Francisco...quite riveting to watch.

I was quite taken aback to hear ‘Oh I Wept’ by Free used in its entirety, in episode 5, for one sequence and then again later in the show. This song and band are one of my all time favs. It just seemed such an odd choice for a futuristic cutting edge film though the track did sit rather well with the imagery.

No more spoilers please, only up to episode 3 but thanks for the heads-up, I'll listen out for it.

Excellent series, well worth watching.

Beautiful to look at and great music choices throughout.

I haven't seen "Devs", but I was watching an episode of "The Expanse" last night and was surprised to hear Purple's "Highway Star" used, twice, in space travel scenes.  Worked well though!
