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.

What happens
Arrested Development is an American satirical television sitcom created by Mitchell Hurwitz that debuted on Fox on November 2, 2003. It follows the Bluth family, a formerly wealthy, dysfunctional family and is presented in a serialized format, incorporating handheld camera work, voice-over narration, archival photos and historical footage, and maintains numerous running gags and catchphrases. Ron Howard served as both an executive producer and the omniscient narrator and, in later seasons, appears in the show as a fictionalized version of himself. Set in Newport Beach, California, the series was filmed primarily in Culver City and Marina del Rey. Arrested Development received critical acclaim. It won six Primetime Emmy Awards and a Golden Globe Award, and attracted a cult following. It has been widely regarded as one of the greatest TV shows of all time. It influenced later single-camera comedy series such as 30 Rock and Community. Despite the positive critical response, Arrested Development received low ratings on Fox, which canceled the series in 2006. In 2011, Netflix licensed new episodes and distributed them on its streaming service. These episodes were released in May 2013, and was among the first of Netflix's original programming. Netflix commissioned a fifth season of Arrested Development, the first half of which premiered in May 2018, and the second half in March 2019. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
