Fargo and Mahler - Herman's Malt
Jeff Russo's cue Herman's Malt for the second episode of the second series of Fargo stole a fair chunk of material from the opening bars of Mahler's 2nd Symphony. The first half of the music was used again in episode 4.

In an interview with SlashFilm, the series creator Noah Hawley admits to having sent the composer lots of Mahler cues as a reference:
"I shared a lot of Mahler cues, concertos and compositions with the composer because it felt like in a way the Germanic-ness of the Gerhardts"

Then in a Reddit IAMA, composer Jeff Russo was asked repeatedly about his favourite classical composers (Beethoven, Bach, no mention of Mahler) the inspiration behind the music of Fargo Season 2 (the characters and the mood apparently - no mention of lifting wholesale from Mahler).

As a reddit user recently wrote about it on the /classicalmusic subreddit:
"he should either make his own music inspired by the Mahler or they should just use Mahler, I get that composers for TV/Film have a time limit but you really cant call what they are using an "original score"
