[off topic]

One thing I've noticed is that at some point they stopped making TV shows and movies set in the past and went to making everything science fiction and fantasy.

I didn't learn about vaudeville or butter churns or knights in school, I saw them in media.

There's still a ton of historical media too. From my past three months of watching:

  • Gladiator II
  • John Adams
  • Taboo
  • The Count of Monte Cristo
  • Beneath Hill 60
  • When Evil Lurks
  • Life is Beautiful
  • A Haunting in Venice
  • Wolf Hall
  • The Terror

I didn't say there was none, I said that it had gone from being ubiquitous to being rare.

Also, none of that is aimed at children.
