If you loved the original A Haunting series, you will LOVE this show. Even the original narrator is back! This is even more true to the original series than the A Haunting reboot.
As for the controversy, sadly, even though it is not intending to portray the Amish in a negative fashion, it is doing so inadvertently through issues like shunning (seriously, how does one NOT get shunned by the bishop). Those that are looking at this show as some kind of anthropological study of the Amish will be disappointed. However, those looking for entertainment true to form of the original series of A Haunting are going to be very pleased.
