Writing and Performances
With emotional tension and strategically placed turns, the writing team has created an engaging and well-organized plot. While some viewers wished for more development of Roshini’s character, the overall storyline holds strong with solid logic and pacing.

Audience Reactions
The first three episodes have been well-received, with viewers praising the engaging plot and standout performances. However, there has been considerable backlash regarding the release strategy:
Fan Comments:
- “The first 3 episodes were light but full of twists. It’s going to get intense. Pankaj Tripathi is brilliant as always.”
- “Why release only three episodes? It ruins the binge-watching experience.”
- “I’ll watch it only when all the episodes are released.”
Fans are urging Disney+ Hotstar to release all episodes at once, as the staggered approach is considered frustrating and potentially harmful to the show’s momentum.
Conclusion
Criminal Justice 4: A Family Matter sets the stage for another successful season with a gripping story, strong performances, and impactful direction. While the content has won praise, the release format has drawn criticism from loyal viewers who prefer binge-watching legal thrillers in one go.
As more episodes roll out, fans are eagerly awaiting how this complex case unfolds under the guidance of Madhav Mishra—India’s most endearing onscreen lawyer.
