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

The Paper is an American mockumentary sitcom series created by Greg Daniels and Michael Koman. The series is a follow-up to and spinoff of the American mockumentary series The Office which originally ran on NBC from 2005 to 2013. The series stars Domhnall Gleeson and Sabrina Impacciatore, alongside Chelsea Frei, Melvin Gregg, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Alex Edelman, Ramona Young, and Tim Key, with Oscar Nunez reprising his role from The Office. In Toledo, Ohio, the same documentary crew that followed the workers at Dunder Mifflin's Scranton, Pennsylvania branch twenty years earlier focuses its efforts on the Toledo Truth Teller, a historic but declining Midwestern newspaper trying to resurrect itself with volunteer reporters. The Paper premiered on Peacock on September 4, 2025, with its ten-episode first season. In September 2025, ahead of the series premiere, the series was renewed for a second season which is slated to premiere on September 9, 2026. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
