Regardless of geographic or cultural boundaries, these avid TV fans gather in real time on Twitter. While many of them know exactly how to tweet and keep their followers engaged, here are some tips for those who may be trying this for the first time:

Share your reactions to the episode while it’s airing
Join in the real-time conversations around your favourite shows, movies or episodes by Tweeting along as you watch the scheduled telecast, sharing your personal commentary as the show unfolds. 

Pro-tip- Do tag (@)  the TV channel and name of the show/movie to get eyeballs from everyone watching it or reading about it.

Pro-tip- You can also create image templates and craft a few Tweets before the event for smooth sailing.

Use the correct hashtags
While posting commentary, use the appropriate hashtags for the show so other fans can discover your Tweets with ease. The hashtag is also usually featured within the show itself, you can use that too. 

Pro-tip- Keep an eye out for relevant and emerging hashtags that start gaining popularity. Use that to get into those conversations. 

React to surprising or emotional points in the story
Share your thoughts and feelings during major plot twists. Reacting to surprising or emotional points in the story will help people connect better with the broadcast.
