‘The Last Hour’: One of the best stories to come out of Sikkim

Gangtok: Often when films and TV series get shot in places like Sikkim, it’s all about MG Marg or Mount Kanchenjunga. But Amazon Prime Video’s The Last Hour is different.

The new web series is set in a fictitious city somewhere in the Northeast. So, while Sikkim quietly works in the background, the suspense thriller happens in the foreground.

The story is also one that is beautifully crafted, bringing about the Himalayan state’s own mythology and cultural practices such as shamanism, locally termed as jhakris (shamans).
