Relentless Review Bombing Damaged ’The Last of Us’ Season 2’s Rotten Tomatoes Audience Score

It isn't unusual for genre titles across mediums to inspire intense reactions from fans. Often, these fans weaponize their collective power to spread negativity about films or shows. Targeted harassment of this kind is commonly known as review bombing, and this is exactly what we're seeing unfold currently with the ongoing second season of The Last of Us. The video game adaptation is now in the final stretch of its sophomore season, which has drawn a horrendous response from a section of the audience. As a result, the show's audience score on aggregator platforms such as Rotten Tomatoes has been in free fall.
