The Netflix show depicts in eerie detail how the criminals' love turned into deep obsession.
The streaming service warns viewers of "harrowing accounts of harassment, abuse and other crimes" from both stalkers and their survivors.
In the content, it states: "Roughly 1.4 million people are stalked every year in the US alone.
"The results of stalking range from the annoying (persistently receiving loads of email or letters) to the intrusive (being secretly watched or followed) to the most severe (kidnapping and/or murder).”

It seems fans have been left hugely troubled by the candid scenes, with one confessing: "I certainly can’t be the only one who watches #IAmAStalker on #Netflix before bed, and therefore will be too scared to sleep?"
A second mused: ";Hearing how the judicial system continued to fail these victims is [crazy Emoji icon]. A piece of paper doesn’t protect anyone. Thankful I am single at this point."
A third referenced one case and wrote: "I feel for John, but he put Rachel and her family through absolute hell. I'd be terrified to be anywhere near him after that. I can only imagine what would happen if Rachel met someone and moved on."
Another confessed: "I'm watching #IAmAStalker and it has me scared."
