## Reception

As per Prateek Sur from The Free Press Journal, the producers and directors made a good decision of casting local actors over the big shots. The beauty of the Northeast is very well portrayed. Beautiful locations from the northeast are hardly utilized in Indian cinema and web series scene, but The Last Hour did a good job on that. He also says that the series seems too long for the premise and could be an easy 2.5–3 hours movie to start with.
Raja Sen from Live Mint Lifestyle is very much impressed by Jayesh Nair's cinematography. He says that it is exquisite. Raja says that Takapa is a magnetic performer and matches the narrative naturally.
Scroll.in sums up its review in a single line that says the web series could deliver a lot more based on its unusual theme, but it somehow falls short to make justice with the unique storyline.
Tatsam Mukherjee from First Post wrote "Despite exoticising the North-East, Sanjay Kapoor's series tries to be authentic and manages to make some bold choices."
