You'll worry the Big Apple will swallow them up. Mostly, you'll wonder how Breaking Amish will turn next. Read full review

Some are going to embrace this new freedom; others are going to be overwhelmed. The very personal reactions make for grand voyeurism. Read full review

Like many TLC series, a simple fascination with observing a perceived strangeness will pull in most viewers, but the pathos evoked by the struggling five refugees will likely keep people watching. Read full review

Future episodes may exploit the whole hick-in-the-big-city thing, but one hopes that doesn't happen to the point where we forget the courage these young men and women demonstrate to spread their wings. Read full review

The TLC formula is pretty familiar, and Breaking Amish takes its rightful place alongside oddities like "Sister Wives" and "My Big Fat American Gypsy Wedding." Read full review

Something doesn't seem real about these kids. Supposedly brought up in a strict religious environment, their actions often contradict their image.......too often. The concept is entertaining enough, but I am suspicious of the reality of this reality TV.

Fake fake fake. Did I mention fake? TLC is a shameful channel. Let say it would the show would be real: Who cares about the stupidity of these people? I think the whole concept is atrocious. Lets decent Amish people turn into the average brain dead folk, and call it cool. That matters not,Fake fake fake. Did I mention fake? TLC is a shameful channel. Let say it would the show would be real: Who cares about the stupidity of these people? I think the whole concept is atrocious. Lets decent Amish people turn into the average brain dead folk, and call it cool. That matters not, because these people are amateur actors who has nothing to do with Amish people. Why call this reality? Lets rename the genre fake-reality show/documentary. SHAMEFUL!… Expand
