What's left behind the scenes

Named after Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849), the American writer, poet, and essayist. The Raven Hotel is named after the famous poem of the same name from 1845. In the poker game scene, Poe is wearing a t-shirt with Edgar Allan Poe's autograph.
The series is based on the novel of the same name (2002) by Richard Morgan.
The series was filmed in Vancouver, Canada.
The titles of the second season's episodes also reference films of the past: Robert Siodmak's 'The Ghost Lady', Lothar Mendes' 'Deferred Payment', Edmund Goulding's 'Nightmare Alley', Alfred Hitchcock's 'Shadow of a Doubt', H. Bruce Humberstone's 'Nightmare', Bernard Vorhos' 'Bury Me Dead', and Jacques Tourneur's 'Dangerous Experiment'.
The titles of the first season's episodes are the titles of classic noirs by famous directors: Jacques Tourneur's 'Out of the Past', Otto Preminger's 'Fallen Angel', Nicholas Ray's 'In a Lonely Place', Abraham Polonsky's 'Force of Evil', Alfred Hitchcock's 'The Wrong Man', Edward Montagne's 'The Man with My Face', Akira Kurosawa's 'Stray Dog', Fritz Lang's 'While the City Sleeps', 'Fury in the Heavens', and Robert Siodmak's 'The Killers'.
