” required production designer John P. Goldsmith to step even further back in time than the original incarnation of the show, as seen in the 1950s. Furthermore, since the titular character was working as a private investigator in the new drama, Goldsmith and visual-effects supervisor Justin Ball had to steep the series in a noir style to reflect the kind of gritty justice that might be served.

But, when it came to the sidewalks, Goldsmith had to change post boxes, streetlamps and even traffic lights to be period accurate. “This is where my world overlapped with Justin,” he says. “Central Los Angeles has become so modernized that there’s less fabric to work with.” “There would be a hill, and now it’s no longer there because it had to make place for a stadium,” Ball says. “The city changed so dramatically. In the ’20s and ’30s, it was really downtown and then farmland out to the coast.”
