Amazon Prime Video- shows don’t appear in Continue Watching after viewing episodes

I have an intermittent problem with Prime Video.  Several times, I have started watching a show, watch a few episodes, then start the next one, and exit.  When I am on the Home Screen the next time, that show does not show up in Continue Watching.  It happens when I start watching a show from the Search function, and sometimes when I start watching it from my Watchlist.  

It’s really annoying to have to search for the show again the next time to resume watching.   Amazon support was it useless self.  Log out and back in (already tried that).  Delete and re- add the app(already tried that too).  Create a new profile and start from scratch- that's a nonstarter, as all my Watchlist items are in my main profile.

 

Is anyone else seeing this?  Any workarounds?

Thanks.

    Sorry I can't help, but I am seeing the same thing! It drives me NUTS! Sometimes it works for me, but many times it displays shows that I rarely watch but not a show I was watching 5 minutes ago! We watch the show The Middle, and in our experiments we have found the earlier seasons work and show in Continue Watching, but the later seasons don't!  Let me know if you learn anything.
