Special Ops 2 vs Criminal Justice 4 OTT: With its recent JioHotstar launch, Special Ops 2 had a significant impact. The criminal thriller won accolades for its compelling storyline and Kay Kay Menon's outstanding portrayal of RAW agent Himmat Singh. The popularity of the first season led to the a spin-off called Special Ops 1.5, which was followed by second season. Kay Kay Menon returned along with Vinay Pathak, Muzammil Ibrahim, Saiyami Kher, Meher Vij, and Karan Tacker in this Hindi-language action espionage thriller series. Fresh faces including Prakash Raj, Tahir Raj Bhasin and Vikkas Manaktala impressed in the second season.
Special Ops 2 is based on cyber-terrorism. An enormous data leak was a possibility as artificial intelligence spread and India maintained its position as a leader in digital payment systems like UPI. Himmat Singh faced an unseen foe in the virtual world in this pressure-filled situation. Even while he was reunited with his former team, nobody is really safe in this digital age.
Special Ops 2, led by Kay Kay Menon was made available on JioHotstar shortly after the conclusion of Pankaj Tripathi's courtroom drama, Criminal Justice: A Family Matter.

In conclusion, Criminal Justice: A Family Matter holds the top slot, while Special OPS 2 still has a long way to go before it overtakes Pankaj Tripathi's series.
