Criminal Justice 4 Web Series Review | Suchin Mehrotra | THR India

Suchin Mehrotra's review for The Hollywood Reporter India presents Criminal Justice Season 4 as the epitome of "TV Plus" - unambitious, family-friendly content designed to convert traditional viewers to streaming platforms. Suchin acknowledges this JioHotstar series as competently executed "Mid TV" that delivers functional crime thriller basics without pretension, praising director Rohan Sippy and the writing team for understanding that simplicity done well requires genuine effort and skill.

However, Suchin identifies fatal flaws that undermine the show's watchable charm. The narrative suffers from being stretched across eight episodes when six would have sufficed, causing the pace to drag and tension to plateau rather than build toward a climactic revelation. While praising standout performances from Surveen Chawla and the reliable cast including Pankaj Tripathi (though noting his autopilot mode).

Suchin criticizes the series' tonal inconsistencies between workplace comedy and thriller elements, weak cliffhangers, and an irritatingly conceived final twist. Despite appreciating the show's fantasy of an efficient justice system, Suchin concludes feeling tired by the repetitive sameness that transforms early episode charm into flatlining familiarity.
