The catalogue in 3D
The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
Three private detectives solve crimes in Southern California during the 1980s. One is a ladies' man, one is a rough-and-tumble fighter, and one is a tech whiz.

What happens
Riptide is an American detective television series that ran on NBC between January 3, 1984 and April 22, 1986, starring Perry King, Joe Penny, and Thom Bray. A midseason replacement, it debuted as a two-hour TV movie in early 1984. By September 1985, domestic distribution rights to the series were sold to Columbia Pictures Television. Its successor, Sony Pictures Television, still holds these rights to this day. After its cancellation, CPT put the series in syndication on the USA Network in the late 1980s. The series previously appeared on MeTV+, a sister network of MeTV. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
