Sunday’s emotional, painful-to-watch episode of “Breaking Bad” topped the weekly Twitter charts for the second time in a row, generating a record number of tweets since the AMC series began its final run in August.
“Ozymandias” produced 598,500 tweets on Sunday — nearly double the number it had last week when it was the most-tweeted entertainment program.
That’s also more than the 565,000 tweets the series generated during its Aug. 11 premiere, according to the Nielsen company SocialGuide, which releases a weekly Top 10 list of the “most social” TV programs on Twitter.
