In the new reality series Breaking Amish, five traditional Amish leave behind their strict religious backgrounds to hit the Big Apple as part of an Amish tradition that allows young adults to experience the outside world before joining the community as adults. Once they arrive in New York City, the hustle and bustle of the city life overwhelms the typical country folks. Relationships begin to develop and are soon tested as the young people’s lack of education make it nearly impossible to find work. The show is packed with drama and hilarity. The highlight is seeing the reaction of the native New Yorkers when these out of town visitors show up to explore the crazy city.
With it’s clueless cast of conservative Amish, this show is sure to be a hit. Be sure to check out Breaking Amish on Sunday’s at 10 p.m. on TLC. Grade: B+
