In an unexpected turn of events, the viewers have recently shared their dislikes towards season 4 of ‘Criminal Justice’ and Pankaj Tripathi’s witty character, Madhav Mishra. The audience has shown disinterest, and it seems like the fans will no longer stick with the courtroom drama.
It is to be noted that during the times when binge-watching and OTT platforms are a trend, and people love to watch series and movies in the comfort of their houses, this series has been losing its charm. The major possible reason behind this could be a decision to schedule the episodes of the series on a weekly basis.
What would have been an exciting courtroom drama is already receding from the watchlist of the viewers, as they must wait a whole week to watch another 40-minute episode.
A user was upset and stated that it is 2025, and these OTT masters are moving us back to the cable TV era. The fans are largely attributing the move to out-of-touch executives attempting to replicate the TV show model, which no longer fits into the viewing habits imposed by services such as Netflix and Amazon Prime.
Such firms have transformed the meaning of the content consumption experience by allowing viewers to have choices on how and when to watch. It was a weekly release show, and it seems like JioHotstar wanted to make it a strategic win, but now it looks like a bad idea. Criminal Justice, anchored by the popular character of Pankaj Tripathi, Madhav Mishra, succeeds in the suspense and is now killing the suspense as the fans have to wait a week to get the thrill again.
The viewers have made their choice, and it is evident that they chose a binge-worthy drop, as opposed to a drawn-out schedule; the old-fashioned OTT bosses at Jio Hotstar ought to have kept the major thing in mind that this age now requires a speedy dopamine hit, as opposed to a slow burn.
