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
Two female detectives in Manchester navigate the pressures of solving major crimes while dealing with their own messy personal lives. The series focuses on their partnership, the toll the job takes on them, and the bond that keeps them going.

What happens
Scott & Bailey is a British police procedural series that debuted on ITV on 29 May 2011 and concluded on 27 April 2016. The series stars Suranne Jones, Lesley Sharp, Amelia Bullmore, Nicholas Gleaves, Danny Miller and Pippa Haywood. The show, mainly written by Sally Wainwright, revolves around the personal and professional lives of detectives Janet Scott (played by Sharp) and Rachel Bailey (played by Jones). Both characters are members of the Syndicate Nine Major Incident Team (MIT) of the fictional Manchester Metropolitan Police. Despite continued good reception and strong viewership, the series was cancelled after an abbreviated fifth series in 2016 for creative reasons. In March 2018, Canadian TV remade the series as The Detail but the show was cancelled after one season. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
