"People really feel the need to share how the series has touched their lives, and that's been very moving. We're enormously grateful to the fans of the show. They've been extremely loyal to us season after season, and they make it all worthwhile"
About this Quote
The subtext is reciprocity. Fans aren’t just consumers; they’re co-authors of meaning, people who complete the project by carrying it into their own stories. When she says they “really feel the need to share,” she’s hinting at the modern feedback loop: the era where audiences DM, post, testify, and turn a show into a community. Her “very moving” is doing double duty - sincere appreciation, yes, but also a signal that the creators are listening, that devotion is seen and rewarded.
“Extremely loyal… season after season” lands like an acknowledgement of the brutal math of television: renewal depends on retention. Loyalty is both emotional and economic, and Downey wraps the business reality in a language of mutual care. “They make it all worthwhile” neatly flips the power dynamic. The fans become the reason, which is flattering - and strategically smart - because it turns viewership into identity. If you’re loyal, you’re not just watching. You belong.
