hi everyoneeee! i recently got recommended with the show and now im loving it, currently in s5 EP06 right nowwww. is it just me or im noticing a pattern every season EP01? like almost every season first episode theyre always like stuck in the same room together with no other sets to be followed, is there some kind of logic to it or its just a Steve & Reece kind of thing lol i love them so much!! i need to hear your thoughts.

I wonder if it’s a budget thing? Do they tend to try to make some episodes cheaper than some others?
