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.

What happens

Treadstone is an American action drama television series created by Tim Kring, who is also the executive producer alongside Ramin Bahrani, Ben Smith, Jeffrey Weiner, Justin Levy, Bradley Thomas, and Dan Friedkin. It is part of the Bourne franchise and serves as both a prequel to The Bourne Identity (2002) and a sequel to Jason Bourne (2016). A "special preview" of the pilot aired on USA Network on September 24, 2019, ahead of its October 15, 2019, premiere. Treadstone received generally mixed reviews from critics and in May 2020, the series was canceled after one season of ten episodes. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
