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
Two investigators work for a British agency that reopens old criminal cases to check for miscarriages of justice. One investigator is impulsive and follows her gut, while her boss is more cautious and by the book.

What happens
Rose and Maloney is a British television crime drama series, produced by All3 Media, and broadcast on ITV between 29 September 2002 and 26 September 2005. The series stars Sarah Lancashire and Phil Davis as the principal characters, Rose Linden and Marion Maloney, who are investigators working for the fictional Criminal Justice Review Agency. They take on claims of miscarriages of justice, assessing whether there are grounds to reopen old cases. Rose Linden is portrayed as strong-willed and sometimes reckless, a woman who likes to follow her instincts and play hunches, who often comes into conflict with authority. Marion Maloney, although Rose's superior, usually allows himself to be led by his more passionate colleague. Maloney is by-the-book and a little grey, and he finds working with Rose dangerous but addictively exciting. Additional cast members include Nisha Nayar, Susan Brown, Anne Reid and David Westhead. Guest stars throughout the series run include Tara Fitzgerald, Danny Dyer, Tiana Benjamin, Andrew-Lee Potts and Neil Dudgeon. Three series of the programme were broadcast, beginning with a two-part pilot episode on 29 September 2002. Due to strong viewing figures, a second series of six episodes - again, all two-part stories, was commissioned for broadcast in 2004, followed by a third series in 2005. The last series had a slight change to the format, with each episode being self-contained, and the length of each episode extended. ITV chose not to re-commission the show for a fourth series. The series has never been released on DVD; however, all three series have been released, free-to-view, on YouTube, via the programme's production company, All3 Media. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
