"In the video game turned HBO adaptation
The Last of Us, human survivors must
contend with hordes of zombie-like “infected” called “clickers” in a battle for
survival. Now, the show itself is facing a similar problem: disgruntled fans of
the adapted video game are using the simple act of “clicking” to sabotage the
show’s success.
The Last of Us has become the latest in a growing number of media franchises
to fall victim to the nefarious fan practice of “review bombing”. On the
surface, it seems an unlikely target. So why did it attract the ire of its own
fans?"
