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

Community Squad (Spanish: División Palermo) is an Argentine television comedy series created by Santiago Korovsky. Produced by K&S Films and distributed by Netflix, the series centers around a group of people who represent social minorities and are hired to form a neighbourhood protection guard. The series criticizes tokenism in organizations through a screenplay that resignifies offensive humor to place judgment on companies and governments that discriminate against minorities. The title of the series is taken from the Buenos Aires neighbourhood of Palermo. In September 2024, it was announced as a nominee for the 52nd International Emmy Awards. It finally won the award in November of the same year. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
