UPDATED May 4, 2018
Bumped my rating up another point to 5 stars.
I find myself watching Prime Video nearly every day now. The selection has gotten so huge, I'll never be able to see all the great content on my watchlist. The video player runs beautifully on my Kindle, as well as on PC. Never had any problems. And I love being able to download stuff to watch offline. Well worth the price, especially with the other benefits.
UPDATED September 11, 2017:
Got a Kindle Fire about five months ago and have had zero problems with the Amazon Video player since. Fast and smooth, just like Netflix, Hulu, et al.
Still don't like that a lot of content isn't included with Prime, but have to admit there is a huge selection that DOES come with it, including excellent original shows.
Changing my rating from one star to four.
Original review, April 2017:
I rarely use Amazon Prime video for two main reasons:
1) The player is absolutely terrible. I mainly watch via tablet, and it becomes nearly impossible because everything loads sooooo slowly. Just browsing the library is frustrating because of the glacial speed navigating from page to page. And when I try to watch something, I find myself constantly having to restart because it buffers or just stops completely. Meanwhile, I can watch Hulu and Netflix with none of those problems.
2) There is a decent selection of movies that come with the Prime subscription, but it's frustrating when you search for a tv series or movie that you want to see, only to find that you have to pay an additional $3 just to watch it. For example, to watch all the seasons of Monk would have cost me an extra $100 on top of the subscription price. It's not THAT big a deal, but just feels like a bit of a slap.
I've just ordered my first Kindle Fire and am curious to see whether some of the player issues resolve when I am using an Amazon device.

If you just want the JIST of it Proceed, if not>>>>>>>>
Summary of this "rant-view": Was gonna give 4 star, changed mind to 5 star cos of Unsolved Mysteries being available. Great show worth all 5 stars alone. And also, if anyone wants to know how to download the entire series I don't know how, Amazon blocks it so it's impossible. That's why my contact info is below so if you want to know how to download***

Its tempting, very tempting to give Prime Video a perfect rating, solely for the seasons of Unsolved Mysteries being available. In fact, now that I give it more than passing attention and thought, I change it to 5/5. If I hadn't already downloaded all the content already I would be nervous saying this, but really Amazon should have considered selling each season or the whole collection on DVD first, and then making it available on prime video once people have already bought the whole series to what would have been consistently sold out amounts of sales.
I have no money, I can barely eat, and often I'll go without a pack of cigarettes for 36-72 hours because I cannot afford to buy one(which as stupid as this sounds, and as it is no doubt, not satisfying that addiction is only due to severe poverty.
You get the idea, i'm not crying about it, just trying to explain how broke I am(judge not lest ye too be broke before or eventually ye may go nigh w'out but a empty cloud of emptier air where money once lived like a large party of green presidents's heads drinking like they won't go to a hospital with alcohol poisoning, but then one after the other they left and long gone either taken away without their consent, let go freely, sent away happy their gone for they were wasted and dirty and the peace is worth losing a 20 until like that broke guy wasting his time on Amazon reviews, your last money woke up bought the last pack of cigarettes you'll be able to buy until you get another $10, yet this uncertainly as to when you'll be able to buy another is so certain that it will be a long time that the anxiety of not being able to smoke gets much worse every drag that gets pulled.
Blah blah blah.
My point is, if Amazon was selling Unsolved Mysteries seasons and I found the money on the ground afford them, I would postpone buying anything else including food and addiction satisfactions, and spend all the found money to pay whatever ridiculously morbidly obese price Amazon should have charged if they were smart cos people would have paid it so that I could purchase Unsolved Mysteries episodes. Oh well, instead I get to download them all for free and have them forever.
Before these seasons were avialable I spent 2years acumulating after great struggle and difficult and long search, the piddly little box set series they put together(which was piddly, however before this, it was like diamond and gold had a baby) but there was so little content compared to the full seasons. So, I doubt it, but I guess we can pretend that Amazon was aware of the immense profit and value they ignored so that the fans could afford to see this series and would not starve just to watch a TV show. Or perhaps there was another reason and I'm full of ess achh eye tee either knowingly or un. Anyways, yes 5 stars for the entiere series of Unsolved being available and then there's also a decent amount of other content that is no Netflix, is not bad and if the remaining content had to be reviewd, I'd give it a 2.5. But thankfully its just like a bonus cos Unsolved is more than enough to cover the 5 stars.
Oh and btw, when I said I downloaded the entire show, I meant that in a entirely fictitious way, as in, I downloaded the entire show in this dream I had of a heavENly dinosaur world with DSL. Oh and if anyone would like information on how to dream the kind of dream where you too are downloading the entire show with ease, hit me up. ga.attridge@gmail.com and I'll point you toward the magic carpet that takes you high enough to board the dinosaur that you ride while your Unsolved Mysteries downloads, as much or a little as you like. wink wink punch to the air nowhere near your face with an uppercut whamo.!
****I of course cannot help, so hit me up if you wanna know how exactly I can't help you easily download the whole series without having to pay for it or watch it online or through Amazon. I don't know if anything would happen if I did know how and flaunted that info however I'm going to flaunt my unknowledge and no-no how on the subject. .
