Pankaj Tripathi is back as Madhav Mishra, but fans aren’t happy with JioCinema-Hotstar’s episode drop strategy.
The much-loved crime drama Criminal Justice is back with its fourth season—A Family Matter. Starring the brilliant Pankaj Tripathi, the show landed on JioCinema and Hotstar on May 29. But instead of excitement, the internet is buzzing with frustration. Why? Only three episodes dropped.
Why Only 3 Episodes?
While Tripathi fans were hyped to binge-watch the legal drama, they were hit with a surprise—just three episodes went live on release day. The rest? Still under wraps. And that’s what sparked the outrage.
Social media is now flooded with posts slamming Hotstar’s slow-release tactic. “Why do you want to kill the joy of binge-watching?” asked one user. Another added, “It’s annoying! Criminal Justice deserves better.”

What’s the Story This Time?
In Criminal Justice: A Family Matter, Pankaj Tripathi returns as the quirky yet sharp lawyer Madhav Mishra, who’s now running his own firm—Madhav Mishra and Associates.
The plot kicks off with a murder. Roshni (played by Asha Negi), a nurse involved in an affair with surgeon Dr. Raj Nagpal (Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub), is found dead. Things take a wild turn as both Dr. Nagpal and his wife Anju (Surveen Chawla) are arrested. What follows is a layered legal drama packed with twists, courtroom clashes, and Mishra’s signature wit.
The Internet Has Thoughts
While fans are praising the story and performances—especially Tripathi’s effortless blend of humor and depth—they’re not happy about the release strategy.
Here’s what people are saying:
“First 3 episodes were on the lighter side but still had twists. It’s gonna get intense from here. #PankajTripathi delivers a great performance again.”
Another user vented, “This practice of dropping just a few episodes is ruining good shows. People want to binge!”
And some are even planning to skip the series—for now. “I’ll watch it only when all the episodes are uploaded,” a fan declared.

Bottom Line
