Trying to avoid spoilers about Breaking Bad during its final run of episodes is a very hot topic of late and fans will welcome the release of a very helpful app just in time for the very last episode.
It’s hard to think of a show that has generated the appeal and the amount of debate that Breaking Bad has in recent years, but unlike famous television shows of yesteryear, trying to avoid knowing what will happen is virtually impossible because so many people are talking about it on social media.
Plenty of Irish fans of the show are right up to date with it thanks to Netflix, but it doesn’t become available over this side of the world until the day after it is broadcast on AMC in America, which could become tricky for those of us planning to watch it on Monday after viewers in the US have sat through it on Sunday night.
Thankfully, there is a solution at hand thanks to Netflix, who have released the Spoiler Foiler app over at spoilerfoiler.com, which is designed to block out any tweets that could potentially ruin the finale for the show’s fans.
The website enables fans to log onto their normal Twitter feed but it will black out tweets that could potentially spoil the show, while at the same time giving users the option of viewing the tweet if they’d like to play their own little game of Breaking Bad roulette.
The fact that any tweets including the words ‘breaking’ and ‘bad’ means there’s a good chance a lot of tweets are going to be blacked out that have nothing to do with the show itself, but hardcore fans will no doubt feel that it will be worth it.
