    I am an avid watcher of the Investigation Discovery Channel, so when I heard about this series I thought it would be interesting. I saw the series premiere last night and it was much better that I expected; a show I'll be watching every week. Instead of using a professional narrator or journalist, the victim narrates their own story. Some narrators on these shows overdramatize the story or have annoying voices, which is a dealbreaker for me. With a different person narrating each time, that issue is eliminated, and it will make the show less predictable week after week. I hope they don't change this format. Secondly, this program is about stalking rather than the more frequent murder shows on ID, and it's great seeing the victims triumph over their stalkers and receive justice without tragedy befalling them.

    I watch ID quite a bit. A lot of times I will have the TV running in the background while I am online or playing a game. ID has produced many good shows. This one blows the pants off Stalked. The episode I saw at first was just a t the periphery, but as I heard more, I had to pause it and come to a stopping point in the game. Something about that particular episode caught my attention. In this episode it starts out with a woman receiving stalking-type phone calls. It reaches the point where he is describing what she is doing so she knows that she is being watched. Then he starts talking about raping her. As the calls continue, he gets more and more graphic, vile, and violent. The culmination (not the last call, but the one that grabbed my attention)is one where he calls , but doesn't really talk. Instead he leaves the phone hanging so she can hear these inhuman sounds that she finally realizes is a woman whimpering in terror. Then she starts hearing hair-raising screaming. The guy is torturing and raping a woman as she listens horrified. Well, that is just a taste. I have to say it was one of the creepiest things I have seen including actual horror movies and it's REAL!!! I don't know how they will top that episode, but if they do...

    Wow... This was to me the best one yet. I could feel Kathleens pain. I was stalked briefly by my ex- husband but nothing to the degree that she went through. I am sorry to say but I wanted her stalker to take his life or be taken by the police. At least it would be over forever. I feel so badly for her that she gave up so much in her life because of him. How he found her after her unsuccessful attempt to hide her whereabouts, her job, her person amazes me to what length these wackos go to. What an enormous amount of time that was lost because of him. He took so much from her! Great show. I too like the fact that the stalkee is the narrator and not some over emphasizing person retelling the story. Thats how I feel about Nightmare Next Door. I cannot abide to the narrator's voice and refuse to watch the show. I am glad Kathleen is an advocate for stalking laws. I commend her. I wish her well for her future.
