Very slow paced and at times gets deviated from the core script. Kirti Kulhari should have been better. Pankaj Tripathy and Anupriya have held the entire plot on their shoulders. But flawed direction and snail speed proceedings bore you from beginning. Still a good watch. Not at par with the earlier instalment.

Slow cooked drama.. Watch it for Tripathiji
dharamveersharma11126 December 2020
With his genuine performance Tripathi kept the show worthwhile for watching.. else it is too mundane with everyone trying to relate with the accused in one way or another.. Vidyarthiji was gods but his talent was wasted, could have used him better..
Worth to watch

Only for Pankaj Tripathi

Apoorva, who outlined the pain and consternation of the gay community through 'Aligarh', has worked through this web series to bring an issue related to women from behind closed doors to the front, which is often not considered an issue.
'Criminal Justice-Behind Closed Doors' furthers Apoorva's mission of portraying human sensibilities as being a court drama.
The story of 'Criminal Justice Season 2' is straightforward and predictable. The writer has not even tried to confuse it with the screenplay.
The focus thriller has been more of an issue than coherent, with short twists and turns. The essence of the entire series, which hinges on it, is also known to the viewer in the opening scenes. However, it is accurately revealed in the last episode.
However, the story of this series seems to be slow in some places, especially the prison scenes are repeated at times.
The web series 'Criminal Justice-Behind Closed Doors' may have been described as a courtroom drama, but you will be disappointed if you sit around expecting a suspense thriller to watch it. Watch it calmly.
Pankaj Tripathi, Anupriya Goenka, and Mita Vashistha are associated with the first season of Criminal Justice, have also looked strong in this season.
There is a truth, understanding, and compassion in the character of advocate Madhav Mishra, played by Pankaj Tripathi with all sincerity.
At the same time, Anupriya Goenka has also done full justice to her character. On her part, the director has given many important dialogues, which she has been successful in bringing out effectively.
Also, artists like Jishu Sengupta, Ashish Vidyarthi, Adrija Sinha, Pankaj Saraswat, Ayaz Khan, Kalyani Mule, Ajit Singh Palawat, Khushbu Atre have fully supported the story.
It would not be wrong to say that the characters of 'Criminal Justice' are a strong side of this series.
The story revolves primarily around Anu Chandra, played by Kirti Kulhari. The actress has already won her acting in films and series like Pink, Mission Mangal, Uri, Four More Shots Please.
In 'Criminal Justice', she also appears to be dissolved in her character. In short dialogues, Kirti continues to connect with the audience with her gestures.

The humor of Mr Mishra ji with her wife is another side which you will certainly enjoy.

As, my title is concern I want to present my review in respect to Mr. mishra ji and her wife. The combo is great and is very limited but when seen will make you either laugh aloud or cry too (at last). For other screenplay review kindly refer other reviews. Its great but as someone written the jail scene is a bit more repetitive but its necessary too. Must must watch. Review from Kathmandu, Nepal.
Acting brilliant but slow and reason of the case is very weak
shailendravermag-1206028 December 2020
The star cast brilliant, acting superb. I watched after looking few faces on poster, specially Pankaj Tripathi, Deepti Naval etc.
Superb acting.
Drawback - Biggest drawback is its slow, very slow. Story of 4 episodes converted to 8. You can see police or lawyer when moving to say something takes 8 to 12 or 15 sec to speak, in mean they just see each other and give expressions.
Biggest drawback that pushes me to pull down my rating is the cause on which complete story is based which is quite obvious in first episode only. I won't state here to spoil the suspense. But I feel that reason is something not BIG to have as motive. There are small things around it, but not great motive.

Pankaj Tripathi ji JAI HO

Plot of the series is indeed very good, with a social message at the end. All the actors have done justice to their roles, with a special mention of a chemistry between Pankaj Tripathi and his wife, it is so charming to see them.
The sub plots have also been weaved well within the main story which takes it forward.
The only negative I found that mystery when revealed at the end was not very convincing.
Rest all good.
Looking for the 3rd season for a more gripping suspense drama.
Okayish ..had great expectations
mehtavarun22 January 2021
Unnecessary drag ...not so strong storyline and the season could have been made a bit more engaging within 5-6 episodes. Lot many threads left open ended and felt a few characters/storyline were not required at all, like the father of the actress, the drug angle, Sania - random lady, nikhat's family angle, a few characters in the prison
Mishraji is Back!!!!
msc929324 December 2020
Top notch story, the murder mystery you think it is simple but not.
How every episodes complete you see the complications of the murder revealed.
And when in last the main mystery comes.
You will shock.
Every one have to watch this.
And Mishraji's wife's character is awesome.
Pankaj Tripathi complete package!
Chaudhari_M27 December 2020
Storyline is based on serious issue, that was good. Pankaj Tripathi and Anupriya Goenka acting was good. But some episode's too overstretched. I some points/scene not required. It's courtroom drama. I can watch only for pankaj Tripathi. Season 1 is better than season 2.
Overstretched series
drish-3984027 December 2020
Insult to season one! Hands down to the acting skills of Pankaj Tripathi and Anupriya Goenka were brilliant but I wish they wud have given some dialogues to Kriti too rather than just crying. As a summary u can watch episode 1 and directly episode 7&8. You are not missing much. It shud have been a 3-4 episode series but they went over and beyond. All in all it deserves no more than 3/10.
Lov you tripaathi ji.

Master class
npradhan-4961525 December 2020
Warning: Spoilers
A truly master class performance by the Gem Mr. Pankaj Tripathy, Kirti Kulhari and Anupriya Goenka also a notable performance from Ashish Bidyarthi. I saw the whole series without and break. The acting of Pankaj Tripathi is truly flawless and simple. I was still in the Kaleen Bhaiya mood but after watching this, suddenly Madhav Mishra took the mood. Brilliant 👏 👏 👏 Bollywood stars should take lesson, how a simple acting can be so powerful that can stay in your mind forever.
Gripping Show !
ukhandelwal13 January 2021
Well presented and overall good acting from everyone. Good plot. Special appreciation for Anupriya Goenka, she is just so sharp and strong in her character. Pankaj Tripathi as usual Man of Steel. Kirti Kulhari justified her role.
worth watching

Wooow....what a story
MDOmarMakki22 February 2021
Wooow....what a story.This is one of the few series where it has presented very clearly and cleverly about 90% of households story in India. Appreciate the way story has been presented revealing something very peculiar and topic which no one brings up or even scared to talk , share with others in our country and also the cast has done a great job. It depicts how most of the women are brought up in India.what are they taught to be sehensheel,sehenshakti and whatevr happens we should adjust. have never seen they teach the same thing to men. And so whatever happens after marriage, we shouldnt speakup, we should adjust, should suffer because it s the common thing happening. Hope this series will make a change in the mindsets of people and future generations.
Could be completed in 1 and Half hour

The story could have been told in 1 or 2 episodes. I'm even willing to buy 3 episodes. But 8 is an overkill. The premise is good, but its overstretched. The most frustrating part is Anuchandra (Kirti K). All she does for 7 episodes is stare into space and cry. She hardly has any dialogues till the last episode. The part I don't get is - why are 2 good lawyers trying to help a client who has no interest in saving herself?
Acting wise, the 2 lawyers are awesome (as expected) and so are the 2 married police inspectors, Harsh and Gauri. In fact, the actress who plays Gauri is very good. And Mishraji's wife is the best part of the show.
I just wish that the writers had written a better part for Kirti. All she does is stare into space with a sad face. Very frustrating.

The story was worth 2-3 episodes.

You can watch this only for Pankaj Tripathi's acting. Otherwise, the story was really overstreched. Way too slow and repeating at times and so many unnecessary things. All in all, you could wrap it up in like 2-3 episodes.
Well circled
aashupals28 December 2020
Creators did a great job by linking each and every scene from the show which looks so obvious to a detailed courtroom explanation. The way events flows through out the series is flawless, really loved to watch Pankaj, Anupriya and Kirti at their best.
Special appreciation for Kirti's acting, she makes you feel her pain.

This season 2 is not better than Season 1 But
The acting of Pankaj Tripathi and Kirti Kulkarni is mind blowing. Top level acting. Story is also good but should be more interesting... Overall This is a very good Series.
