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
Fargo is an American black comedy crime drama television series created by Noah Hawley for FX. It is based on the 1996 film written and directed by Joel and Ethan Coen. The Coens, whose other films also heavily influenced the series, were originally uninvolved but joined as executive producers after being impressed by Hawley's script for the first season. The series premiered on April 15, 2014. Fargo is an anthology series consisting of self-contained seasons, although they all share the same continuity as the film and feature minor overlaps. Five seasons of the show have been released between 2014 and 2024, each with a different setting, cast and characters; the time periods also largely vary, ranging from 1950 in season four to 2019 in season five, although they all take place in the American Midwest, primarily Minnesota. The storylines differ with each season, but typically follow large casts of characters made up of organized criminals, law enforcement and regular civilians, who stumble into a seemingly minor conflict that quickly spirals into chaos and bloodshed. The series received a large number of awards and nominations, mostly for its performances; these include seven Primetime Emmy Awards (including Outstanding Limited Series for its first season) out of 70 nominations, three Golden Globe Awards (including Best Miniseries or Television Film, also for its first season) out of 14 nominations, and eight Critics' Choice Television Awards (including Best Movie/Miniseries twice for its first two seasons) out of 22 nominations.
