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

Hot Girls Wanted: Turned On is a six-part Netflix series that premiered on April 21, 2017. A follow-up to the 2015 documentary film Hot Girls Wanted, it was produced by Jill Bauer, Ronna Gradus, and Rashida Jones. The series explores pornography, technology, and relationships. It aimed to include more diverse narratives than Hot Girls Wanted, which was criticized by sex workers for not containing positive stories about the sex industry. However, many sex workers featured in Turned On stated that their consent was violated and they and their families were put at risk, including two women whose content was displayed in the series without their knowledge. The pornographic actor Gia Paige, featured in the episode "Money Shot", said that the production violated her boundaries, that they included her in the series despite agreeing to edit her out, and that they included part of her real name. Other than criticism on ethical grounds, the series received largely positive critical reception. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
