It’s now gotten to the point where you need to have seen the previous ones in order for it to make any sense whatsoever.

There started to be some semblance of a storyline after about the third one, but now it’s entirely feeding off references to the past ones.

I watched the first two when they first came out. Probably one the creepiest things I’ve seen.

But it answered everything.
Copypasta’d from Reddit
So Roy was behind it all. Using his machine, he tried to indoctrinate the three into sharing his beliefs, similar to how media and propaganda is used by the government to influence our own thoughts.
Red Guy’s escape in Episode 4 shows what happens when someone is able to resist the influence of the media, and is not swept up in the emotional manipulation. He escapes Roy’s world to a place that’s the opposite to compensate. He finds himself in a world surrounded by people who have no drive and creativity as a result, a place completely alien to him which he cannot adjust to fully. He returns to Roy’s world but realizes at this point that it’s gone too far and the plug needs to be pulled; but even at the end, he’s unsure how things will progress afterward.
Duck Guy’s death in Episode 5 shows what happens when someone thinks critically about the information they’ve been shown and starts realizing that it doesn’t add up. When he learns about the propaganda from Red, instead of attempting to escape, he instead tries to change the system. He doesn’t “want to do this anymore” - play along with the manipulative, corrupt society - and causes chaos in trying to fix things. Ultimately, because Duck Guy is dangerous, he is silenced. Red Guy will carry on his work, but only after his death and only after things have become unsalvageable.
Yellow Guy is the one who stays content with bread and circuses until it is too late, and when everything finally becomes too much there is nobody left to save him until the world’s own ridiculousness spurs Red Guy into action. Red Guy tries to fix Yellow Guy but he has no idea how to, only exacerbating the problem. Roy allows Red to pull the plug because even though the entire series was a result of his machinations, even he realizes that it’s irrevocably poisoned his son - he has gone too far, and hurt what he loved. Unable to admit the shame of his failure, he lets Red end it, as he can’t end it himself.
It’s almost like the series represents the rise and fall of empires, with Roy being the government, his show the media, Red the refugees, Green the revolutionaries, and Yellow the common man. Roy is overthrown; however, it doesn’t matter, because eventually history repeats, and the new regime falls down the same trap as the old one.
