Show, don't tell is more a movie thing, imho. And for good reason, because you can't show thoughts. In books - telling can be good.

Also minimalist prose is great.

I was just thinking this same thing. I'm really sensitive to too much "telling" in film. I've been watching some really good, subtle, intelligently written shows lately, and then I tried watching the first episode of Supergirl and it was just so. much. telling. Not a single occurrence in the plot could go unexplained, even when it didn't require an explanation because what was happening was already pretty obvious. And every characters feelings and reactions had to be talked about.

It's such a weak way of telling a film narrative, IMO.

Whereas in books, it really depends on the style and strength of the writing.
