Criminal Justice: A Family Matter

This TV series is about a family who is undergoing a phase in their life, and some tragic happens. Story revolves around a courtroom which finds guilty of murder. It may seem like a serious series actually, but it is more of a light fun entertaining one. Series maintains suspense till the end . Ending could have been much better. Pankaj Tripathi as a lawyer fullfils the role and also other actors plays a good part in the story. The makers release one episode in one week which was quite frustrating . It can be easily watched in homes with family as there is no such material which can disturb anyone .A good Indian TV series to watch.

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.

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.

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.

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.
