The much-awaited Criminal Justice: Season 4 – A Family Matter finally premiered on May 29 on JioCinema (formerly Hotstar). Fans were excited to see Pankaj Tripathi return as the witty and clever lawyer Madhav Mishra. However, many viewers are now expressing frustration on social media—especially on Twitter (X)—because only the first three episodes of the new season are available to watch.
Let’s take a closer look at what fans are saying and what to expect from the season.
Only 3 Episodes Released So Far
The first three episodes of Season 4 are now streaming and are titled:
- A Birthday to Remember
- Buried Secrets
- Quid Pro Quo
While fans are thrilled to see the series return, many were expecting all episodes to drop at once. Instead, the makers have decided to release new episodes every Thursday. This weekly release plan has left some viewers disappointed, especially those who love binge-watching shows.
Fans React on Social Media
After watching the first few episodes, fans took to Twitter to share their thoughts. Most agreed the story is gripping and intense, but many are upset about the release format.
One viewer tweeted:
“Ruining the binge-watching experience. Jab saare upload ho jaayein, tab batana (Let me know when all the episodes are up).”
Another fan added:
“How can we wait till Thursday? It’s a crime thriller, and with the gap, you tend to forget details and lose interest.”
Someone else questioned the makers directly, writing:
“Why do you always make things difficult for viewers, especially fans of @TripathiiPankaj? Only 3 episodes—really?”
Despite the criticism over episode release, many fans praised the show’s quality. One viewer wrote:
“This season goes deep into a disturbing murder case involving a teenage girl. It explores family issues, media pressure, and the juvenile justice system. The plot is strong, the twists feel natural, and the courtroom scenes are very real and emotional. All the actors, especially Pankaj Tripathi, Swastika Mukherjee, and Purab Kohli, have done a fantastic job.”
What’s the Story This Season?
Criminal Justice Season 4, titled A Family Matter, focuses on a tragic murder mystery involving a teenage girl. The show dives into the dark side of family secrets, media trials, and how the justice system handles young offenders. As always, Pankaj Tripathi’s character Madhav Mishra takes on the case in his unique, thoughtful style.
New Episodes Every Thursday
Directed by Rohan Sippy and produced by Applause Entertainment in collaboration with BBC Studios India, Criminal Justice Season 4 will continue to drop new episodes weekly on Thursdays.
So if you’re someone who enjoys watching a series in one go, you might have to wait a few weeks. But if you’re okay with watching it bit by bit, tune in every Thursday on JioCinema to catch the latest episodes.
