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

Mr. & Mrs. Smith is an American spy television series created by Francesca Sloane and Donald Glover, which premiered on February 2, 2024. It is inspired by the 2005 film Mr. & Mrs. Smith written by Simon Kinberg, although instead of following a married couple of competing spies like the film, the series stars Glover and Maya Erskine as two strangers paired up as a duo of spies who must live undercover as a married couple; instead of real names, John and Jane Smith are aliases given to the characters and the other agents working for the same organization. Arnon Milchan, who was a producer on the original film, is an executive producer for the series alongside, among others, Sloane, Glover, Glover's brother Stephen, Hiro Murai, Anthony Katagas, and Michael Schaefer. The series was renewed for a second season with Anna Ouyang Moench taking over as showrunner. The show received positive reviews from critics, who particularly praised the performances and Glover and Erskine's chemistry. It received 16 Primetime Emmy Award nominations for its first season, including nominations for Outstanding Drama Series, Outstanding Lead Actor for Glover, Outstanding Lead Actress for Erskine, and five acting nominations for some of the featured guests.
