I hate when they do this with the Marvel shows. And now I hate it even more as I try to watch Chicago PD and Chicago Fire.

As I’m going from one episode to the next I get spoilered in the previews bc nobody gave me a heads up I need to watch X episode first!

Grrr!

I don’t remember any crossovers with the Marvel shows as of yet. Or do you mean the Netflix ones?

DC needs to work on their branding.

The good thing is that it is usually is only one crossover per season. The bad thing is that while most of the episode is about the crossover, there’s usually 2 or 3 minutes that actually matter a lot to the season arc or to character development and sets the rest of the individual seasons up.  
Still, they’re pretty fun.
