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
London Kills is a British police procedural television series, written and created by Paul Marquess, that premièred on Acorn TV on 26 February 2019 in the United States. One of Acorn TV's first original commissions, London Kills centres around an elite murder investigation squad in London headed by DI David Bradford (Hugo Speer), an experienced detective whose judgement is called into question following the unexpected disappearance of his wife. The series follows on from Marquess' former London-based police procedural series Suspects. The cast features a number of striking similarities, includes a documentary-style feel and has an ad-lib script allowing the cast partially to improvise their lines based on a synopsis. In 2024, it was renewed for a fifth series. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
