The series gained extraordinary access to prisons across America with prisoners recalling shocking details about their offences.

A show synopsis revealed: “We discover their motivations, their expectations and ultimately how they now view the crime, after time spent on death row.

“Different viewpoints and the impact of decisions made in a split second that have changed the course of the killers’ lives throw into question the viewer’s opinions towards the killers.”

The intensity of I Am A Killer’s scenes has taken many viewers by surprise, with many making use of the mind-blowing emoji to express their astonishment.

One person tweeted: “Watching shows about literal axe murderers before going to sleep is a really fun way to engage in a sleepless night. (Thats the show on Netflix btw, I am not an actual killer).”

Another person admitted: “Trying to fall asleep watching #iamakiller was the wrong move.”

And yet another said: #IAmAKiller episode 3 broke my heart. Episode 4 has me scared to go to sleep.”
