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
This series looks at real crimes and the first three days after they happen. It uses reenactments and interviews with police and scientists to show how investigators work to solve a case.

What happens
72 Hours: True Crime is a television program that was commissioned by CBC Television and TLC and was produced by Kensington Communications Creative Anarchy and Meech Grant Productions. It focused on crime, specifically on the first 72 hours after a crime is committed, a critical time period for solving it. Rather than focus on fictional crimes, as do Law & Order and other TV shows elsewhere, 72 Hours: True Crime depicted actual crimes that occurred throughout North America, using dramatic reenactments of crimes and crime scenes, and documentary footage of investigators and forensic scientists. The show was broadcast in high-definition television. In 2007, CBC announced that 72 Hours was cancelled when it announced its new fall season. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
