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
Legion is an American surrealist superhero television series created by Noah Hawley for FX, based on the Marvel Comics character Legion. It was produced by FX Productions in association with Marvel Television, with Hawley serving as showrunner, and ran for three seasons from February 8, 2017, to August 12, 2019. It is set in a universe parallel to the X-Men film series. Dan Stevens stars as David Haller, a mutant diagnosed with schizophrenia at a young age. The series follows David as he tries to control his psychic powers and combat the sinister forces trying to manipulate him to their own ends. Rachel Keller, Aubrey Plaza, Bill Irwin, Jeremie Harris, Amber Midthunder, Katie Aselton, and Jean Smart also starred, later being joined by Jemaine Clement, Hamish Linklater, Navid Negahban, and Lauren Tsai. FX and Marvel Television announced a new collaboration to create a television series based on the Marvel Comics character Legion in October 2015, with Hawley signed on to write and direct the pilot. He wanted to show Haller as an "unreliable narrator", including mixing 1960s design with modern-day elements, and filming the series through the title character's distorted view of reality. All three seasons of Legion were praised by critics for their distinct narrative structure, experimental visual style, and unique approach to the superhero genre. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
