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

Love/Hate is an Irish crime drama television series, commissioned by RTÉ Television and created by Stuart Carolan. Set in Dublin, the show depicts fictional characters in the city's criminal underworld. The show is mostly filmed in Dublin, with some scenes shot in bordering counties. Since its release, it continued to grow in popularity, with series 3 attracting close to one million viewers on several occasions. The show aired between 2010 and 2014 on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player, spanning five series and twenty-eight episodes. The show was later broadcast on Netflix and dubbed into French and German, and in 2024 the show was released for streaming onto ITVX. In November 2014, RTÉ stated that a sixth series would be made, but the show would be taking a year-long break in 2015. However, in November 2015, RTÉ stated that there were no longer plans to make a sixth series. In 2017, actor John Connors confirmed that production of Love/Hate had ceased and there would be no more seasons aired. Love/Hate was critically acclaimed, winning nineteen Irish Film & Television Awards, and its twelve-nomination run in 2013 set a national record. The show has become a cult classic in Ireland and is widely regarded as one of the greatest Irish shows ever. In 2015, plans were announced to make an American version of the show, but as of 2024 no such show has been filmed. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
