It's extremely well made and I can't think of many core criticisms, only things that could be considered nit-picky. More ambient noise and maybe even some backtrack moody songs could add to it. I agree with the smoother transition sentiment, it's not critical but it'd be nice. My best suggestions would be either a short "Previously on!" like you mentioned, or an intro of sorts. Nothing fancy, something along the lines of a title of the episode and a narration of it with some fitting music or other sounds as a precursor. The music/sounds used could change with each episode, maybe have it foreshadow what's to come?
Overall, I'm a big fan and wish you the best of luck.

Also to dipdoo: The entrance thing actually is quite critical. A lot of folks would instantly be put off and stop watching. Meaning you lose out on potential views, feedback, and advertising. And not by a small margin either. If I didn't know better I would have stopped watching the moment any of these episodes started. It's the sort of uncomfortable associated with waking up hanging upside down suspended by your feet. Suden, unpleasent, and it skips all sense of progression. But I'm willing to forgo the unpleasentness for the sake of clean critique. After all. I will not take a pass at Yellow. I serve only to help if I can.
Although, I am happy to see you've worked a cleaner transition between different scenes, forgot to bring that one up since I've spoken with you on it in the past Yellow.
Thank you both for the feedback. Background music is probably out of reach right now (I'd need a composer to compose tracks for the scenes, since pre-made tracks wouldn't match the scene lengths), but I could do more ambient music.
As for the intro, I could do a 6-second or so title/episode screen gradually fading in background noises, then beginning the episode. Think that would work?
Very much so. And as for white noise, I believe there are several white noise generators that are free creatives commons stuff, although you'd probably have to check yourself on those. And there are some things you'd have to manually inquire about. Sayyy, this one.

Though this one would require a paid agreement with the sound engineer who created it, it's simply an example.
