Our Take On Sheriff Country’s Crossovers
The Show Will Need To Stand On Its Own Two Feet Eventually
While usingFire Countrycharacters such as Bode and Sharon for crossover purposes,Sheriff Countrywill need to find a way to be able to stand aloneas its own show. Using crossover arcs and characters as a base point is fine, but the show needs to ensure it is not too reliant on appearances byFire Countrycast members.
Baccarin is a strong lead, and establishing her character’s existing relationships early is important to helpSheriff Countrythrive and grow with its own narrative.
While the two shows share the same universe,Sheriff Countrycan explore different themes and stories, and look to go to different places than its sister show.
