Scrubs immediately comes to mind, though it's not a very current reference. I still listen to Colin Hay thanks to these scenes. And this one.

Had to double check myself but that's the guy from men at work.
Silicon Valley. The songs they played at the end of every episode were pretty much universally bangers.
Not a show, but Tales From the Borderlands introduced me to Jungle, possibly my favourite music artist right now, as well as a few other gems.
Jungle fuckin rocks
The episode intro with "To The Top" by Twin Shadow is amazing.
Breaking Bad & Atlanta both had many new discoveries for me. Twin peaks s3 had some amazing music but I was aware of the majority of the artist beforehand
Edit: add Sharp Objects. Amazing sound design and found a few new gems
The Top Gun soundtrack definitely sets the standard.
If we're doing movies, Pretty in Pink was always my jam.
Grosse Pointe Blank's soundtrack is absolutely amazing.
The Venture Brothers and J. G. Thirwell.
Cowboy Bebop and Yoko Kanno.
Definitely Bebop!
Smallville always had well curated songs for each episode.. at the time some were fairly obscure bands
Remy Zero!
Definitely Arcane for a start. I'll probably think of others later.
Sons of anarchy
Sons of anarchy had some really good cover versions of songs (or a specific song I don't remember)
It was very good but rubbed me the wrong way for some weird random reason
Katey Sagal's cover of Bird on a Wire is one of most extraordinary things ever recorded. Tears every time.
Songs of Anarchy is pretty brilliant all around.
The Americans. Whoever did the soundtrack for that show was amazing. Really great 80s music.
Agreed on The Americana
Justified introduced me to modern gangsta crossover folk music
The Bear has an awesome soundtrack
Dark
Letterkenny introduced me to Japanther, Black Mountain, DZ Deathrays, and a bunch of other bands that would never hit my recommendations on any streaming services.
Rick and Morty
Everything from Jody Hill / Danny McBride: Eastbound & Down, Vice Principals, Righteous Gemstones all have amazing soundtracks.
Righteous Gemstones has some great music. Not really into country or gospel either, but they found a few winners that work for me.
Peacemaker! So many good songs from bands I've never heard of. Especially Wig Wam and Band-Maid.
Stargate Universe
Final Space. They had a fairly unknown artist make masterpieces for them.
The outros in Hit Monkey introduced me to a lot of new artists. Here's a playlist of some of them: Hit Monkey
CSI Miami had a Papa Roach song I liked a lot better than that cheap knockoff of the original CSI.
Breaking Bad and Stargate Universe both come to mind. Also, a couple from House M.D.
As a person with an interest in the history of movies I got throw in The Big Chill. It was the OG film soundtrack, I’m pretty sure it was the first soundtrack to hit the billboard top 10 albums in a time when that meant something and is full of ‘50s & ‘60s bangers.
So many good recs on here. True Detective S1 really nailed it for me though.
Dark on Netflix
Mr. Robot
True Blood
Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts
Killing Eve. I got into so many artists only from the soundtrack.
The soundtrack for euphoria was amazing- in context anyway, been meaning to look some of it up.
The show was kinda lame, but Shrill had a pretty rocking soundtrack
I loved cliff martinez's ost for "the knick" breaking historical accuracy that obviously did the show really well.
Lucifer
Supernatural and Kansas
