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
A teenage boy tries to navigate high school and family life while dealing with his own awkwardness and overconfidence. He often makes things harder for himself in his quest to fit in and be respected.

What happens
Chad is an American television sitcom created by Nasim Pedrad, who also stars as the title role in the series. The series premiered on April 6, 2021 on TBS. In February 2016, Chad was originally sold to Fox and ordered for a series in 2016 titled Chad: An American Boy with the original concept about a "14-year-old boy in the throes of adolescence who is tasked with being the man of the house", with the original pilot written by Pedrad and Rob Rosell. In August 2016, it was announced that the series would not be moving forward at Fox and would be shopped to other networks. In May 2019, the series was picked up by TBS for a 10-episode order. In May 2021, the series was renewed for a second season. In July 2022, TBS announced that while the second season of Chad had been filmed, that no third season would be ordered, along with the show being canceled hours before its premiere, as the channel was pivoting away from original scripted content. On October 26, 2022, The Roku Channel acquired the series and aired the second season on January 19, 2024. While the series received mostly positive reviews from critics, it was widely panned by audiences but has since gained a cult following after its release. On May 7, 2024, The Roku Channel cancelled the series after the second season. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
