Breaking Amish

2012–2014 · 4 seasons

A glossy, conflict-heavy reality show that feels like watching sheltered young people binge on freedom, with all the messy drama that follows.

How it feels: Melancholic, cynical and earnest. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Identity, family, freedom, faith
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
