There are a lot of great movies streaming with a Netflix subscription. While I do love using the service to watch some of 2025’s best films like Train Dreams and Frankenstein, both of which received multiple Oscar nominations, sometimes I want nothing more than to turn my brain off for a couple of hours and check out something campy or ridiculous. That’s what brought me to Amish Stud: The Eli Weaver Story, a 2023 movie that’s been trending in Netflix’s Top 10 as of late.
Going into this movie, which stars Hallmark staple Luke Macfarlane as an Amish man who conspires to murder his wife and live among the more modern-minded folks (aka, his small harem of mistresses), I thought this was going to be your standard Lifetime original movie. While that is mostly true, I wasn’t ready for what was about to come my way.
