TV Crossovers
Posted: Wed Feb 28, 2018 10:02 pm
I’m nearly finished with The Defenders, an entire series dedicated to bringing together the characters and storylines from 4 other shows from the MCU (itself a maze of references and out and out team ups). Holby City, a British medical drama I love, often features characters or plots from sister show, Casualty.
I really enjoy these instances: there’s just something magic about knowing that they exist in a broader fictional universe and that there are connections there to be explored. At the same time, I can remember some TV crossovers that perhaps didn’t make quite as much sense or work as well.
So, do you like TV Crossovers? Do you think they have creative depth? Or do you think they’re just gimmicky? You could also let us know your favourite/least favourite examples and if there are any shows past or present you wish would cross over.
