I too have started rewatching Downton Abbey, as it appeared in my Netflix suggestions/new in.
Love the Dowager Countess and Cousin Isobel and their jibes at eachother. She must be the only one who can counter the Dowager’s snippy remarks, with absolute class. She’s also very kind, seeing to Moseley’s hands, looking after Sybil when she is injured and supporting the social reforms quietly.
Also, I obviously have a thing for quiet, stoic, dark-haired men who have a temper but fundamentally good people. When Bates smiles, it reminds me so much of Hotch!
Mary and Edith are dreadful to eachother, the writers must all have been only children as what they do is something I would never even consider doing to my siblings! Daisy’s crush on Thomas is so heart-breaking. I have been there, except the guy I liked was not only gay but taken! O’Brian and Thomas are truly awful people, why on earth are they so horrible to Bates and just generally scheming scumbags?
Sybil is gorgeous, I love her blue harem trouser ensemble and Branson seeing her and smiling! She’s so kind to Gwen too, so encouraging and positive.
