Suddenly Amish: TLC’s New Show Concept Faces Severe Backlash

TLC recently announced several new shows and revivals as part of its new year line-up, including Suddenly Amish. Moreover, certain shows from that line-up have generated significant buzz. However, one of these new shows takes the cake. After TLC announced it, the fandom’s reactions were fragmented. But over time, the discussions are leaning towards the opposing side.

The show is in the centre of all the buzz. It will follow the lives of 6 non-Amish individuals who are actively pursuing the Amish culture. According to TLC’s press release, the community is shrinking, and a progressive group within it believes that welcoming outsiders may help rebuild their numbers. TLC additionally released a trailer.

The show is all set to premiere on January 13. The six individuals leave behind their modern lifestyle and step into a deeply traditional community in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. They won’t be allowed any modern technologies or the pleasures of life. The show will also highlight their struggles as they try to adopt the new, strict lifestyle.

However, the show has garnered much adverse criticism. The public has dubbed the show “exploitative” and “fake” as the Amish people do not believe in photos or videos taken with modern technologies. That is vanity to them. More people are following suit, claiming that the people in the show were merely actors for the aforementioned reason.
