I Think We're Alone Now turned two ordinary lives into a study of longing, and years later that discomfort still lingers with anyone who watches it. Sean Donnelly spent time capturing devotion so total it blurred the line between admiration and delusion. The documentary never asks its subjects to perform for the camera, which makes every quiet moment feel unusually exposed. For viewers curious about revisiting this uneasy piece of fandom history, the search for it leads to a surprisingly simple answer.

While free platforms cover most viewers, several subscription add-ons and rental options exist for anyone chasing an ad-free version of this uneasy character study.

Tubi, YouTube's free tier, and The Roku Channel currently offer the easiest access to I Think We're Alone Now, letting anyone watch the full documentary without paying a cent.

FlixFling also lists it for rental, alongside Amazon's own on-demand pricing that typically starts under a dollar.

Sean Donnelly directed the documentary after following two devoted admirers of singer Tiffany for several years, capturing their routines with an uncomfortably close lens. Jeff Turner, an Asperger's-diagnosed man from Santa Cruz, and Kelly McCormick, an intersex admirer from Denver, anchor the story. The project premiered at Slamdance in 2008 before touring festivals like Fantasia. A separate 2018 film sharing the same title, directed by Reed Morano and starring Peter Dinklage, tells an unrelated fictional story.

While Turner and McCormick's devotion stayed personal and quiet, Netflix hosts several documentaries where obsession spirals into something far darker.

Lover Stalker K***** and other Netflix documentaries on obsession

Lover, Stalker, K***** follows a man whose online dating attempt spirals when a woman's romantic fixation turns into relentless threats, closely echoing the unsettling one-sidedness at the center of the Tiffany story. Can I Tell You a Secret documents women targeted by a prolific stalker, unpacking both his patterns and their fear in unflinching detail. I Am a Stalker lets convicted stalkers and the people they targeted speak directly, exposing the psychology behind obsessive pursuit.

Unknown Number: The High School Catfish adds a technological edge, tracing anonymous harassment that turns out to hit closer to home than anyone expects. A Toxic Love Story weaves threatening messages and a tangled plot around a relationship gone wrong, proving obsession rarely stays contained to one person. Older entries like Stalked: Someone's Watching rotate on and off the platform, covering similar ground through survivor accounts. For now, though, catching the original Tiffany-obsessed pair still means looking toward Tubi rather than Netflix.
