Criminal Justice: A Family Matter

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.

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.

Season 4 delivers exactly what fans expected in terms of performances and storytelling - Pankaj Tripathi and the entire cast are in top form, delivering powerful and nuanced performances that elevate the show. The narrative remains engaging and gripping throughout.

However, the inconsistency in episode release is both disappointing and frustrating. It disrupts the viewing experience and reflects poor planning on the scheduling front. A more structured release strategy would have greatly enhanced audience satisfaction.

In summary, while the content remains strong, the execution in the release strategy pulls the season.

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.

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.
