Letter to the I: Republican Alternative to The Crown

I entirely agree with Jessica Barrett that there is a danger of us facing a Royal media overload.  I suggest to counter this that Netflix invests in a series about the humble and courageous Irish republican Michael Collins.  While the cast of "The Crown" are concerned about their characters' opulence, Michael Collins was more frugal and rather homely.  He was born in a simple farmhouse.  He worked in 9 to 5 administration jobs to support his family.  He loved playing practical jokes on his friends and he defeated the British Empire from the back of a bicycle.
