I'm having the same problem and the only work around is. You have to see what episode you are on, close the ap. re open the ap, find the show and episode pause it right there again and just close it don't back out. But you have to do it just like that for it to be there next time. It doesn't save it if you are in the middle of watching it. Its extremely frustrating, I messaged Max. They said they are aware watch it on other platforms for now.
Wow what a convoluted way to have to do it. I applaud you for finding a solution to this pile of **bleep** of an app. thanks. 😉 I just keep it first or second in my List, so its always there to get to easily. I still have to remember what episode I was watching and scroll to that season, then episode. Barf! I'll just watch Rick & Morty on Hulu, mothertruckers!
Edit: Haha. It *bleeped* my swearing. Hilarious.
