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
A washed-up private detective from the 1970s comes out of retirement to solve cases with a younger partner. The show mixes crime solving with a nostalgic 1970s attitude.

What happens
Buddy Faro is an American crime drama television series created by Mark Frost, starring Dennis Farina that aired on CBS from September 25 to December 4, 1998. The series was cancelled after eight episodes due to low ratings. Frost said the show was "born out of [his] desire to bring a sense of fun and high style back to hour drama".
