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

Maradona, sueño bendito (English: Maradona: Blessed Dream) is a biographical drama television series. The series stars Juan Palomino, Nazareno Casero, Nicolás Goldschmidt, Julieta Cardinali, Laura Esquivel, Mercedes Morán, Peter Lanzani, Leonardo Sbaraglia, Marcelo Mazzarello, and Pepe Monje. Before the series premiere, it was confirmed that the series was originally renewed for a second 10-episode season. The series premiered on October 29, 2021 on Amazon Prime Video. In 2022, it was revealed that the second season had been delayed because Claudia Villafañe and Guillermo Coppola were suing for over $10 million in damages. They claimed they were not allowed to review the scripts for the first season of the series and, therefore, did not sign the necessary releases for those parts of their lives to be shown. In 2024, according to actor Nazareno Casero, a second season was scrapped due to his inability to resolve the legal issues. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
