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

Gonna add The Last Kingdom to this list. Super cool show about the Viking invasion of England in the ~~11th~~ 9th century, it's got like 5 seasons and a movie to cap it off. Highly recommended.

Edit: I'm a dummy 🤪

At the risk of being cliché, I recommend the original books by Bernard Cornwell!

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.

This is a silly argument, but:

at some point they stopped making TV shows and movies set in the past and went to making everything science fiction
