Kind of a shit take. Printed material was the only widely distributable/available vehicle for fiction in the Victorian era, which is absolutely not true of tv/film in the modern era. I generally avoid TV and movies as well; not because I don’t like fiction, but because I don’t like my fiction to be filtered by financial ghouls and focus groups clutching their pearls hard enough to turn their knuckles white.
