Criminal Justice: A Family Matter

The season 4 of crimal justice was very interesting with some very good performances. However, this new pattern of releasing one episode per week spoiled the interest of viewers. In a suspense and thriller show the continuity is equally important along with other things. Secondly the episodes were very slow, not too much happening in every episode and over that one episode releasing on thursday made if even worst. End was unexpected and good but would have definitely enjoyed more if all episodes were released together. Hope Jiohotstar does not do it with the upcoming shows like Sepcial OPS 2 and Family Man.

I initially gave a 6-star rating (out of 10) purely because of how much I enjoyed the show and its overall quality. However, I'm genuinely disappointed with the way the full episodes are being delayed. When the Season 4 trailer dropped, I was incredibly excited. But that excitement has slowly turned into frustration due to the drawn-out release schedule.

Delaying full episodes and not releasing them all at once plays with viewer expectations and can seriously reduce the emotional impact and anticipation you've worked so hard to build. If this continues, it could hurt your ratings and viewership long-term-not because the show lacks quality, but because of these decisions around how it's being released.

The show itself is easily a 10/10, but unfortunately, these choices are making it hard to stay engaged. Please consider how this affects loyal viewers moving forward.

Climex totally caught me off guard. I didn't see that coming. Though it felt little slow, I really enjoyed it. Some subplots can be slightly predictable. The legal drama feels so real, and Pankaj Tripathi as Madhav Mishra is absolutely brilliant. He brings such a calm but sharp energy to every scene. What I liked most is that it wasn't predictable. Just when I thought I figured something out, the story took a different turn. The characters were interesting, and the pacing kept me engaged throughout. Overall, Climex was a solid watch. Not overhyped, just smart storytelling with the right amount of thrill.

Criminal Justice - A Family Matter - Season 4

What a phenomenal and heart-touching web series!

This season portrays the unmatched strength of a mother's love.

Mrs. Anju Nagpal (Surveen Chawla), battling pancreatic cancer, takes the blame for the murder of her husband's girlfriend - Ms. Roshni Saluja (Asha Negi) - just to protect her daughter Ira (Khushi Bharadwaj), who lives with Asperger's Syndrome.

She knew that after her death, if her husband Dr. Raj Nagpal (Mohammad Zeeshan Ayyub) was jailed, her daughter would be left alone in the world.

Anju was not just a mother, she was a brilliant former lawyer, who used her legal mind to fight the toughest and final battle of her life. Her sacrifice was beyond imagination - choosing to die with dignity while securing her daughter's future.

Then comes the brilliance of Madhav Mishra (Pankaj Tripathi) - the iconic lawyer who wins our hearts every time with his wit, humility, and depth. Even he bows emotionally to Anju Nagpal's unmatched courage and silent wisdom.

This isn't just a story of crime and justice - It's about pain, love, courage, and the silent sacrifices mothers make every day.

🙏 A heartfelt salute to every mother who gives up everything for her child.

💔 The ending was truly emotional and unforgettable.

Special mention to the entire cast - Sweta Basu Prasad, Khushi Bharadwaj, and others - who delivered powerful performances that brought this story alive.

As a long-time fan of Criminal Justice, I was genuinely looking forward to this new season, especially after how well the previous ones handled complex legal dramas and human emotions. The earlier seasons had a gripping narrative, and one of the most endearing aspects was Madhav Mishra's relationship with his wife. Their dynamic brought a touch of warmth and realism that balanced the intensity of the cases. It felt natural, relatable, and added emotional depth to the story.

Unfortunately, this new season completely loses that charm.

Rather than maintaining the organic chemistry between Madhav and his wife, the writers have now made her a part of the investigation team which is hard to digest !. Her involvement in the legal proceedings feels forced, and the dialogues between them lack the natural flow they once had. What used to be light-hearted banter and emotional support has now turned into awkward, overly scripted conversations that just don't land.

The magic is missing.

This season also struggles with pacing and engagement. The plot feels stretched, and the storytelling doesn't pack the same punch. There's a noticeable dip in both tension and entertainment value. Scenes that should be thrilling or thought-provoking end up feeling like filler.

And then there's the release strategy by Hotstar-honestly, it's ridiculous. Releasing one episode per week for a show that doesn't build weekly anticipation just ruins the viewing experience. It breaks the momentum and makes it hard to stay invested. This might work for some high-budget global series, but for a legal drama that thrives on tight storytelling and continuity, it just doesn't work.

In short, this season feels like a missed opportunity. What once was a strong and engaging legal drama now feels like it's trying too hard in all the wrong places. I hope future seasons bring back the grounded storytelling and character depth that made Criminal Justice so compelling in the first place.
