From a ratings perspective, the “NCIS” crossover of 2023 makes a lot of sense. For people who’ve previously watched only one or two of the shows, a crossover offers an excuse to check out an episode of a new series or at least get introduced to the characters. If they like what they see, they may binge-watch other entries in the “NCIS” universe. In this way, many critics found the crossover to be a success, serving as a vital entry point for newcomers while giving longtime fans inside references only they would understand.
CBR wrote highly of the episodes and how they explored new character relationships: “The crossover’s script also successfully delivers appropriate exposition for the characters and the plot without being heavy-handed. Instead, the show uses the characters’ (sometimes newfound) dynamics to lay out their shared histories and connections to the case or the larger ‘NCIS’ shared universe.”
Entertainment Weekly was similarly impressed with the crossover: “What a fab three hours! We got the procedural elements we’ve been tuning in for over the years, and the twists were served up alongside some fanservice and fun callbacks. Truly, what more could we ask for?”
The 2023 “NCIS” crossover was a big success. Now, showrunners just need to do one with the cast of “NCIS: Sydney,” as hard as it might be to get the teams to go international.
