"Last hour". Reviews about the dramatic drama series

On the series "Last Hour" little is known. A fantastic thriller could have been more successful than the one it has at the moment. It can be attributed to those projects that were not allowed to open. Or it turned out to be so bad that it was not originally located to it. In this article, we will try to analyze the success and failure of the series and, on the basis of spectator reviews, draw a conclusion whether he has the right to exist.

Quick start and a sharp fall

The ABC channel, which has long been famous for the variety of television shows, became interested in the idea of the future project in 2012, giving a green light to the production of the first thirteen episodes. Not planning to enter it into the broadcast grid in the new TV season, ABC was forced to present the film in February 2013, replacing one of its other closed shows. The series lasted several episodes on the air, but managed to get criticism. "The last hour" (testimonials to confirm this) suffered a complete failure, and ABC ascertained the worst ratings in its history.

What is the failure? In the premiere, which was not given the best time, or the initial doom? The series "The Last Hour" (1 season was the only one) left the air forever. By this point, the audience was shown the key plot, but it did not recognize its continuation.

What is the movie about?

The avid skeptic Hank Foley is engaged in exposing myths and riddles. He does not believe in magic, but is the publisher of a magazine devoted to mysteries and paranormal phenomena. His wife Laila is fond of antiques and keeps her own shop. Once she manages to call her husband and say that the robbers have infiltrated the store. More about it, Hank does not know anything.

Trying to understand why and to whom it is necessary, he discovers inside his wife's rare hours a card on which, according to legend, the path to treasures is encrypted. This find is not intended to enrich, but to change the entire world mode. Hank turns to two of his friends, and an employee of FBI Beck also provides help. They learn that Laila is being held by an international terrorist who has her views on her watch. Hank will have to uncover a mystery that lasts a century, to find out how a simple bauble can threaten the future of all mankind.

We passed it!

The idea of the series is nothing original. And nevertheless, the management of the channel considered it interesting. "The last hour" (reviews often talk about this) are compared with many paintings, for example, "Da Vinci Code" or "Treasures of the Nation". The whole narrative boils down to the solution of one great mystery, accompanied by a multitude of small ones, which the four protagonists must reveal. Moreover, humanity is at stake. Agree, not new, but intriguing. The feature of the show was unpredictability. Scenario moves can not be foreseen, and the creators boldly travel through different epochs, returning in part to World War II.

"The last hour": feedback on how to get involved and not come off

Despite the closure of the series, modern features allow you to watch it online. So, viewers have a chance to see all thirteen episodes and find out, finally, what the final will be. What attracted those who dared to reach the end?

First of all, the dynamic nature of the plot. It seems that everything is collected here that can contain history and modernity: riddles and artifacts, global secrets scary of its scale, secret societies of antiquities, biblical prophecy, connecting in a logical thread that keeps the screen of all fans of the show "Last Hour". The series will make the main characters change too. Once in the cycle of events, experiencing dangerous adventures, they are forced to largely rethink their lives. Throughout the series, viewers observe the disclosure of their personalities and characters, the manifestation of weaknesses and strengths, sorrows and joys. In a word, natural human feelings. The first season managed to preserve the intrigue and reveal all the puzzles, creating a whole and complete story. Definitely, this is a new, non-stamped product, suitable for fans of riddles and history.

Global message in the series "The Last Hour"

Reviews of the audience are more positive. This is the reason for success, despite all the difficulties that the series faced, barely hitting the screen. It is impossible not to say about its main advantages. First of all, this is the perception of the apocalypse in a global sense. It is not limited to the destruction of the entire planet, but is considered in a narrower sense, when in the hands of some people there is the possibility of avoiding it, while others, on the contrary, want to get it. Biblical dogmas, which are the basis, attract more than a simple story about the search for wealth. All this brings the "Last Hour" to a new level, characterizing it as a unique work and unexpected surprise story for the audience.

Attention deserves an actor's play. Anthony Edwards - an infrequent guest in the movies, is not represented by a hero, a sort of defender of the world. Yes, he saves his wife and, of course, does not think that it will have to help out the entire globe. His typical appearance, age, wrinkles, bald patches and bristles do not repel, but bribe. This, coupled with the above facts, proves that the "Last Hour" does not follow the trendy serial trends, but retains the features of individuality.
