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

On Call is an American police procedural and serial drama created by Tim Walsh and Elliot Wolf for streaming on IMDb TV. The series stars Troian Bellisario and Brandon Larracuente and follows law enforcement officers of the Long Beach Police Department in California. The series was initially ordered in May 2021, with Elliot's father, Dick Wolf, attached as an executive producer with his production company, Wolf Entertainment. Ben Watkins later joined as the showrunner and also executive produced the show alongside Walsh, Elliot Wolf, and others. It is the first streaming television series from Dick Wolf, as well as the first of his to be produced in a half-hour format. The program later shifted its release to Amazon Prime Video. Other members of the cast and crew include those who previously worked with Wolf on his other franchises. The show was filmed on-location in Long Beach in 2023 and utilized experimental techniques. On Call's eight episodes were released on January 9, 2025, with a soundtrack album following the day after. It received mixed reviews from critics. In May 2025, the series was canceled after one season, but is being shopped to other streaming platforms. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
