The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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.

El ministerio del tiempo (English title: The Ministry of Time) is a Spanish fantasy television series created by Javier and Pablo Olivares and produced by Onza Partners and Cliffhanger for Radiotelevisión Española (RTVE). It premiered on 24 February 2015 on La 1 of Televisión Española (TVE). The series follows the exploits of an investigative team in the fictional Ministry of Time, which deals with incidents caused by time travel that can cause changes to the present day. On 24 March 2015, it was confirmed that RTVE had renewed the series for a second season. The show was renewed for a third season on 22 September 2016. On 29 December 2016, it was announced that RTVE had sold the rights to Netflix to broadcast the third season internationally, outside of Spain, resulting in a bigger production budget. The series was renewed for a fourth season, which started airing on TVE on 5 May 2020. It was known that HBO had acquired the broadcasting rights for the series, at least on HBO Spain and HBO Portugal. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
