is gone to rome an expression, an allusion to the show or just something you devised? 

havent hit ripley yet but saw some NEW YORKER critics tweet expressing her appreciation for the b&w look.

prior to the SM doc i watched the first two eps of sugar which i thought promising. you can compare and contrast with monsieur spade its neo-noirdom though its happy to articulate its love of the genre for you within the show.

It was an alluion to the show but I guess it could be all three.
