The economy has doubled in size in 15 years, foreign direct investment is 40 times what it was in 1991, and India now has several world-class conglomerates. And there are 70,000 millionaires in India, celebrating a stock index that has tripled in three years. But in a country of 1.1 billion people, where 800 million earn $2 a day or less, the Naxal movement shows that members-only progress can spur a deep sense of injustice.

(Steve Buscemi) continues, not to mention Tony's continuing baggage inherited from his late mother Livia. There's a general sense, in this last season, of a deathbed taking-stock, even a few self-referential scenes in which the series' history flashes before our eyes.
