This Chilling Documentary Has Viewers Terrified Of Dating And Losing Sleep After Just One Episode

by Jesse

Love is often painted as a beautiful, transcendent experience. But what happens when love turns dark? When affection becomes an obsession, and a relationship spirals into something far more sinister?

These are the haunting questions at the heart of Netflix’s latest true crime documentary, a show so disturbing that you may never look at love the same way again.

The documentary, released in August, delves into the horrific stories of people whose ex-partners took terrifying turns after their relationships ended. Described as exploring the "dark side of love," the series sheds light on the extremes some individuals can go to when they feel rejected.

One episode is in, and viewers are already shaken. Many report being unable to sleep after watching, their minds rattled by the raw intensity of the stories. On social media, users have shared their horror, with some going as far as to claim that the show has put them off dating entirely.

The impact of the show is clear: it reaches into the deep fears and anxieties people hold about love and trust. While love is beautiful, it can sometimes mask dangers that are only revealed when it’s too late.

Let’s dig into the details of this chilling documentary. Hold on to your hats.

Titled “Worst Ex Ever,” this gripping four-part series is a follow-up to the hit show “Worst Roommate Ever.”

Worst Ex Ever rocketed to the top of Netflix’s charts upon its release. It has been able to captivate viewers with its chilling tales that remain the subject of intense discussion.

Each episode reveals the horrifying reality of dangerous relationships, showcasing some of the most terrifying ex-partners imaginable.

One particularly disturbing episode, "Dating the Devil," follows the story of a monstrous abuser, while "Married to a Monster" recounts the shocking case of a spouse who hired a hitman after their partner left.

In another twisted scenario, a man who lied about being a cop manipulated the system to have his ex-girlfriend falsely arrested after he abused her. And if that wasn't enough, one person tried to frame their partner for murder just to win custody of their child.

While horror films might make your heart race, there’s always comfort in knowing the terror is fictional. But true crime? That’s a different story. It’s real—and that makes it far more unsettling.

It’s no wonder that Worst Ex Ever is leaving viewers confessing they’ve had trouble sleeping after just one episode.

Sharing their reaction on X, one viewer confessed: "Watched worst ex ever on Netflix proceeded to not get any sleep last night... I cannot watch true crime stuff it terrifies me."

Echoing the sentiment, another user wrote: "Bro, the first episode of Worst Ex Ever on netflix is f*****g TERRIFYING this is not light watching this is appalling."

One fan noted the emotional toll of binge-watching: "Can’t stop watching Worst Roommate Ever on Netflix... between this and Worst Ex Ever I am for sure never dating again."

Over on Reddit, reactions were just as intense. One viewer exclaimed: "Holy s*** this series was insane! ...Disappointed there were only 4 episodes."

Another seasoned true crime fan admitted: "I've watched a lot of true crime, but every episode of this show had my jaw on the floor."

For those who dare, Worst Ex Ever is now available on Netflix. Watch responsibly.
