The MSM are onto the whole BYLER thing too now
However, some viewers believe harsh reviews for 'The Bridge' are largely due to a section of the fanbase being disappointed about Will and Mike's (Finn Wolfhard) storyline.
It's been clear throughout the show that Will is gay and had crush on his best friend Mike. This birthed a new ship in the fanbase called 'Byler', which viewers anticipated would become a reality in the latest season.
But that doesn't seem plausible after Will's coming out scene, where he hinted at his feelings but Mike didn't reciprocate.
