True crime series that left viewers ‘too scared to sleep’ arriving on Netflix this weekend

Several viewers have said they had trouble sleeping after watching the documentary series.

Netflix is adding a shocking true crime documentary series to its library this weekend. Titled I Am a Stalker, the show comes from the makers of I Am a Killer and sees "convicted stalkers tell us, in their own chilling words, how love turned into deadly obsession in face first, captivating in-depth interviews."

True crime series I Am a Stalker is arriving on Netflix this weekend

The plot synopsis reads:

"I Am A Stalker takes viewers inside the minds of eight individuals with a history of being stalkers. "The perpetrators will tell their story from their perspective in a thought-provoking, and emotionally confrontational style that also features first person testimony from their courageous 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."

Comprising of eight episodes, the show premiered last year on Netflix in the US but in the UK aired on the channel Crime + Investigation. And many of those who saw it then have said it made for a chilling watch.

I certainly can’t be the only one who watches #IAmAStalker on #Netflix before bed, and therefore will be too scared to sleep? hearing how the judicial system continued to fail these victims is ?. A piece of paper doesn’t protect anyone. Thankful I am single at this point.

Wouldn’t advise watching I Am A Stalker on Netflix then. I’m married with a dog, and I still want to sleep with my lights on ?

Stalkers talk about why and how they did it. Creepy AF — ☠️Daddy Bones☠️ (@UpBeatSkeletor) November 5, 2022

I AM A STALKER on Netflix can be triggering for those that have lived these experiences. But it’s important to watch, because some behaviors people think are ‘love’ or normal need to know it’s not.
