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 modern day king rules a kingdom that looks like contemporary America. A young man rises from obscurity to become a hero and challenges the king's power.

What happens
Kings is an American drama television series created by Michael Green which aired on NBC from March 15 to July 25, 2009. The series' narrative is loosely based on the biblical story of King David, but set in a kingdom that culturally and technologically resembles the present-day United States. Advance showings received mostly positive critical reviews. The Sunday, March 15, 2009, premiere placed fourth in network television ratings for that evening. After four episodes aired, NBC moved it to a Saturday slot, but only showed one more episode before pulling the series until summer. The remaining seven episodes aired on Saturdays in June and July. However, the network cancelled Kings after failing to find a sufficient audience. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
