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
El encargado (English: The Boss) is an Argentine comedy drama television series created by Mariano Cohn and Gastón Duprat originally for Star+. Guillermo Francella stars in the lead role of Eliseo, a doorman at a high-class apartment building in Belgrano, Buenos Aires, who deals with some problems with the neighbors who don't want him anymore as doorman and want to remove his job. To avoid this, he is resorting to unethical moves to keep his job, like invading the privacy of the owners of the apartments. The supporting cast includes Gabriel Goity, Gastón Cocchiarale, and Pochi Ducasse, alongside Moro Anghileri in season one, María Abadi and Martín Slipak in the second season, and Manuel Vicente in season three after recurring in the previous seasons. The series was released on Star+ in Latin America on 26 October 2022, while it is available on Hulu for the United States and on Disney+ for Europe. A second season was announced in November 2022 and was released on 29 November 2023. The same month, a third season was confirmed, which premiered with its first two episodes on 19 July 2024 on Disney+ following its fusion with Star+ in Latin America, concluding on 23 August.
