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

A Remarkable Place to Die is a New Zealand-Australian crime drama series created by Philly de Lacey and written by Lacey and John Banas. It follows Detective Anais Mallory (Chelsie Preston Crayford) on the homicide beat in Queenstown and as she seeks answers about the recent deaths of her father and sister. It was first broadcast in 2024 on TVNZ 1 in New Zealand and on the Nine Network in Australia. On 20 April 2025, the series was renewed for a second series. In November 2025, it was revealed that the second season will be expanded, with a 6-episode run. The first series was shown on German TV (ZDF) in 2025 with the title Queenstown Murders and the sub-title Zum Sterben schön (Drop-dead gorgeous), dubbed into German. On the ZDF website, it was also available in the original English (with or without German sub-titles). The first series was shown in the UK on U&Drama in 2025. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
