Criminal Justice: A Family Matter

6.5/10 - Rather disappointing, frankly

What an absolute letdown this turned out to be. Having thoroughly enjoyed the earlier seasons, particularly that cracking first series with Vikrant Massey, I was rather looking forward to Madhav Mishra's return. Regrettably, this fourth outing feels decidedly past its sell-by date.

Tripathi remains competent enough, though one can't help but notice he's simply going through the motions now. Those tedious domestic scenes with his wife and brother-in-law? Utterly repetitive. We've seen this song and dance twice over, and frankly, it's wearing rather thin.

The central mystery - supposedly the show's bread and butter - is stretched thinner than a politician's promise. What could have been a tight four-episode affair has been unnecessarily bloated into a meandering slog. The pacing is absolutely dreadful; revelations are doled out with all the urgency of a Sunday afternoon stroll.

Where the original series crackled with genuine tension and social commentary that felt organic, this feels manufactured and formulaic. The courtroom scenes lack bite, the family dynamics feel stale, and the whole affair reeks of a series that's outstayed its welcome.

Time to call it quits, I'd say. Some things are best left at their peak.

Well I'm not a person who watch much movies or series as it look kinda boring to me but I thought to give a try to this series when the season 3 was released tab mene dekhna start Kiya tha from season 1 in every season 7th episode me pta chl jata tha ki kya hua hoga kon culprit hoga and I thought the same for season 4 too in 7th episode I was clear who is the real culprit but to my shock in episode 8 pasa hi palat gya I started to thought I'm a detective I should make my career in it but lol if I become a detective or criminal lawyer I know meri vajah se koi masum hi jail jayega the story was too good But the time for episode delivery I swear I want to make a time machine so that I can watch all the episodes but I know I can't so I have to wait that's why I didn't give 10 stars but 8 stars for the story,performance & the climax. Give it a try it's a must watch.

I'm watching criminal since the start but this season was truly amazing and one of the best season which criminal justice has showcased us.

The story was eventually a mystery until it's last episode despite being the series the creators made it look so easy and deliberate that it just amaze you're mind but looking at each episode and waiting for the next one.

This was the season where I was desperately waiting every Thursday for the new episode to release and have a look at it. This brings back to me in my childhood days where we supposed to wait for one week and then new episode comes out but it was a great experience although to wait and watch the whole season.

The only reason to watch criminal justice was to see Pankaj Tripathi but the last episode is the real episode which gives you the example how you can be the best without being on the different sides absolutely banger.

People who are giving it a reduced rating because of the launch timeline are actually cooked.

They have forgotten to wait for things and those who are saying that "difficult to stay invested in this release schedule" don't really know how to actually WATCH a creation.

Watch an episode go out have a life discuss it with your friends and the art comes alive.

Now coming on the main point of series, it is beautifully written.

Madhav mishra "WINNING" yet again.

The trifecta of the lawyer makes things interesting and difficult to guess.

Acting performances are top notch form all the artists except a few slip ups here and there which are covered very well by others so it's difficult for a normal eye to point out the exact moments.

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.
