If you want to avoid spoilers for your favourite TV show or a movie you're planning to watch, this new website from Netflix is definitely not for you.

Called 'Living with spoilers' it lets users watch short video clips that reveal major plot points in popular TV shows and movies - both old and new. 

And the site also lets people vote on which spoilers they think should be in the public domain.

California-based Netflix has revealed a website that shows people spoilers. Called 'Living with spoilers' users can click through various scenes (shown). Each shows a video clip from a show that reveals a major plot point

The website is intended to be fun, rather than a serious attempt to ruin people's enjoyment of a story.

A section called 'Spoil yourself' lets users play a Russian roulette-style game where they click through a series of spoilers.

Each click reveals a new major plot point from a TV show or movie hosted on Netflix.

The spoilers in this section are voted for by members of the public.

They can vote for specific moments from shows and movies and decide if a specific spoiler should be hosted in the roulette-style game.

For example, quotes from The Hunger Games can be approved or rejected for inclusion in the public domain of spoilers.

While most of the spoilers involve classic films, some more recent shows such as Breaking Bad are also included - so viewers should steer clear if they're wary of what they might see.

Elsewhere on the site, users can take part in a quiz to find out what type of 'spoiler' they are.

The questions determine whether they enjoying ruining shows for others, or if they do it accidentally.
