So in serials they might want to exaggerate his character instead of showing him accurately for entertainment; since he is highly regarded makers might not want to depict his real character imo. These serials are very specific and attract certain type of audience. Channel might want to attract general audience by adding drama and romticization elements.
So if we want to see the history in its real sense I think web platform is ideal. They also can show the real depiction of Ashoka through movies. I would love if they could show actual Ashoka in other platfroms.
