Easy to understand some silence is better than the boring detailed exposition that accompanies much of the “made for TV” drama. “Action speaks louder than words” but there’s also a place for neither so the viewer’s brain can be engaged during and after the show. The usual pablum fed to us seems to be designed to avoid reflection, conjecture, questions, and understanding.
Now speaking of music, (okay no one is doing that) these days even a bedroom singer has Phil Spectre’s “wall of sound” that makes it nearly impossible to hear their weak breathy voice and the words that do have a place after all in the production. My personal tastes prefer a single instrument to accompany a strong melodic voice. Some of Natalie Merchant’s songs for example which keep her strong voice front and centre with the music supporting the song.
