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

Sister Wives is an American reality television series broadcast on TLC that premiered on September 26, 2010 and ended February 2025. The show documented the life of a polygamist family affiliated with the Apostolic United Brethren, a fundamentalist Mormon sect. The family included Kody Brown, his current wife Robyn (née Sullivan), and his former wives Meri (née Barber), Janelle (née Schriever) (S1-20), and Christine (née Allred), and their 18 children (1 by Meri, 6 each by Janelle and Christine, and Robyn’s 5 children, 3 of whom were with her ex-husband). The family began the series living in Lehi, Utah, moved to Las Vegas in 2011, and to Flagstaff, Arizona, in 2018. The Browns have stated they participated in the show to make the public aware of polygamist families and to combat societal prejudices. When the show began, Kody Brown argued that his polygamist arrangement was legal because he was legally married to only one woman, while the three other marriages in were "spiritual unions” without government recognition. By the series end in 2025, Robyn was the only woman still in a relationship with Kody. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
