Dear @JioHotstar why are you absolutely destroying the experience of this show by releasing the episodes weekly? No one wants to wait weeks after weeks to see what will happen next and eventually the hype will die and a good show won't get what it deserves. #CriminalJustice4 pic.twitter.com/brNvS3hVXf

Fans are upset with only 3 episodes of Criminal Justice 4

Almost every fan of Criminal Justice series have expressed similarly. One social media user called it an infuriating experience and penned, “It's absolutely INFURIATING! Waited almost a YEAR for Criminal Justice Season 4,and now @JioHotstar and @ApplauseSocial are dragging it out even more?! Only 3 episodes released and then one episode every Thursday?! This is not how you treat loyal viewers! #CriminalJustice4.”

Many fans of the Jio Hotstar series have expressed their outrage similarly with a few even threatening the makers of boycotting the series altogether if they continue to release episodes one by one in this way.

Its tooo annoying that only 3 episodes released of Criminal Justice Season 4, this practice of @JioHotstar will kill the joy of binge-watch experience, please release all the episodes together @JioHotstar #CriminalJusticeSeason4 #pankajtripathi @rohansippy #CriminalJustice4

However one positive fact about this series though is that Pankaj Tripathi once again has nailed his character of Advocate Madhav Mishra. He has done a wonderful job in this legal drama and this time his character tries to unravel the murder mystery of a teenage girl that leads to unravelling of family dynamics, perspective of the court on juvenile deaths and media trials.

It's absolutely INFURIATING! 😤 Waited almost a YEAR for Criminal Justice Season 4,and now @JioHotstar and @ApplauseSocial are dragging it out even more?! Only 3 episodes released and then one episode every Thursday?! This is not how you treat loyal viewers! #CriminalJustice4 👎🏻

Apart from Pankaj, other actors like Asha Negi, Zeeshan Ayub, Mita Vasisht, Shweta Basu and Surveen Chawla has also done a very good job.
