Anyone else miss the earlier MIC seasons sometimes?

I’ve been rewatching some of the earlier MIC seasons and the vibe feels so different compared to this recent season. The cast felt smaller, the friendships seemed more organic, and the drama came from people actually knowing each other rather than everyone being newly introduced.

It also felt less polished, more casual scenes, more random London spots, and less focus on “perfect” moments. Not saying this recent season is bad at all, but the older MIC energy just hits differently for me.
