Les Mills on Demand - studio filming putting me off

Pre-children (so 12ish years ago) I went to the gym a lot and did Body Pump, Combat and Balance. I really enjoyed it.
After having done a few weeks of PE with Joe here with the kids, I thought I would get some classes for myself and found the free Les Mills ones - Release 80 for Combat I think. The instructors are outside in lovely New Zealand landscape. Now I have done that a few times I fancied a change and signed up for the 14 days trial with the aim of keeping the subscription going after. But all the combat releases I can find are dark with flashy lights which I don't like at all - and I can't see the exercises clearly to follow. And the music is all non-descript too - I remember it being fun pop music years ago. Have they changed this on all types of classes? There are obviously new types added since I used to do it so more to try, but I probably prefer Combat and Balance.
Any releases I should check out as being the better ones?

The last time I did combat (favourite!) and pump/attack was around 8 years ago pre children
I have started an on demand subscription too
I find the music for combat similar to how I remember it - more heavy metal with a beat over it. I think attack has more upbeat dance style music. I’ve not tired balance/pump on demand

I love the music and the studio / flashy lights format- makes me feel like I’m there!

I have been doing the Les Mills body balance every morning since lockdown began. I feel amazing on it to be honest. I think the outside one was only shot for release 80 as the balance one is outside as well and it does look beautiful.
