Yes, I'm part of that fandom. And you want to know why? You really don't but anyway, it's because they put a lot of stock in the dialog. It's a sharp, witty, full script. None of this blow up a car, jump into bed, say "it's complicated" in order to get out of writing a scene. Downton Abbey relies on it's script, rather than merely requiring one.
It's the thought-provoking lines from Matthew, the eye-opening ideas of Brandon, the insults of Mary, the truth of Mrs. Hughes, the love of Mr. Bates, the ever classic (let's be honest, our favorite) retorts of Lady Grantham. Enjoy trying to remember where in the show these lines come from!

It was a good show. Lady Grantham is the best
