Star Trek: Discovery 3.2 Review - Ups And Downs From Far From Home
2. Jeff Russo And The Music (Up)
While the title sequence above, the music at least, has of course been with the show since its first episode, Jeff Russo and the team behind the music deserve a special mention in both this episode, and in the season as a whole. Star Trek: Discovery is one of the first shows this year to have had their post-production done after lockdown went into effect, meaning that the score was recorded by separate musicians, then compiled by Russo.
Listening to the episode's score, it's almost impossible to tell that these players were not in the same room together!
The level of professionalism and the challenge of putting it all together is astounding. The music for Discovery has been one of its high points since the show began, but here it deserves another look and listen. Fantastic job all around.
