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
The series follows Sam, an 18-year-old autistic man in Connecticut, as he navigates dating, independence, and family dynamics. It also shows his parents and sister dealing with their own struggles alongside his coming-of-age journey.

In February 2020, it was renewed for a fourth and final season, which premiered on July 9, 2021. The first season received mostly positive reviews, but was criticized by some reviewers for its lack of autistic actors, and inaccuracies in its depiction of autism. The second season featured autistic actors and writers, giving them an opportunity to work and represent their community, and received mostly positive reviews. The third season continued this positive development and received overwhelmingly positive reviews. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
