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

I Hate Suzie (stylised as I HATE SUZIE.) is a British dark comedy-drama television series created by Lucy Prebble and Billie Piper. Written by Prebble, it was produced by Bad Wolf in association with Sky Studios. The series marks the third collaboration between Prebble and Piper, who previously worked together on Secret Diary of a Call Girl (2007–2011) and The Effect (2012). I Hate Suzie follows the life of actress Suzie Pickles (Piper), whose life is thrown into turmoil when her phone is hacked and compromising photographs of her are leaked. Each episode is focused on "one of the eight stages of trauma" that Suzie experiences, a take on the five stages of grief. I Hate Suzie premiered on Sky Atlantic and Now on 27 August 2020. It received critical acclaim from television critics for its writing, directing, and Piper's performance. It was recognised by several publications as one of the best television programmes of the year. In February 2021, it was renewed for a second series, titled I Hate Suzie Too (stylised as I HATE SUZIE TOO.), which premiered on 20 December 2022. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
