28. Breaking Amish
‘Breaking Amish’ captivated audiences in America as a result of its shocking premise: the series showcases Amish youths looking to abandon their upbringing in exchange for a life in the big city. As it turns out, TLC made some mistakes during the casting process – two of the stars who were shown to have only recently met, were proved to have had a relationship for over a year as a result of social media, and as it turns out, they even had a child together during this time. One cast member was even arrested four years prior to shooting for public intoxication, meaning he had been out of the community for longer than the show alluded to. These scandals meant that the series got the ax after just 20 episodes.
