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
This TV series is a professional wrestling show that presents its matches as a story-driven drama rather than a real sport. It follows wrestlers who perform as characters in a fantasy setting, with filmed fights and dramatic storylines.

What happens
Lucha Underground was an American professional wrestling promotion founded in 2014 by United Artists Media Group. Lucha Underground also refers to its weekly television program, which featured characters portrayed by wrestlers from Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide and the American and Mexican independent circuits. The series originally aired in English on El Rey Network and in Spanish on UniMás. The series was developed by Mark Burnett and Robert Rodriguez and produced by United Artists, MGM Television, and One Three Media. It premiered on October 29, 2014 and aired until November 7, 2018, consisting of four seasons for a total of 127 episodes. It was set and filmed in Boyle Heights and Downtown Los Angeles, California, while the series later forged creative and production partnerships with other North American promotions. Lucha Underground received generally positive reviews throughout its run, with praise for its action, characters, and cinematic presentation, with critics noting its in-universe style and departure from depicting professional wrestling as a legitimate sporting contest. The series had moderate viewership in its first two seasons, but the third and fourth season saw fluctuations in viewership after it was made available on Netflix prior to the fourth season premiere. The series was eventually cancelled due to budget concerns. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
