A shocking true crime series that rocked America has finally landed on UK Netflix - and it's already caused a few sleepless nights for some.
The documentary sees convicted stalkers opening up about their crimes through chilling face-to-face interviews. And their bizarre accounts of how love can become so scarily twisted will leave your jaw on the floor.
I Am A Stalker takes viewers inside the minds of eight individuals with a history of stalking. Each tells their story from their perspective in what is often a thought-provoking and emotionally confrontational watch. The show also features first person accounts from the brave victims who survived these shocking crimes. The series covers a variety of stalking cases, from disgruntled exes and co-workers infatuated with their colleagues, to virtual strangers.
The eight episodes became one of the most-watched crime series in the US on Netflix. It originally aired in the UK on the Crime + Investigation channel, but it's only now that UK Netflix viewers can see what all the fuss was about.
'I won’t be sleeping tonight'
Viewers took to X, formerly Twitter, to voice their unease after watching the series.
