My favorite TV show is "Stranger Things" and it's incredibly thrilling. Although the movie is frightening, I also find it heartwarming because as it explores themes of friendship and family. My favorite character is Eleven, I was really amazed with her power to control things using her mind. I also admire her friends, especially Dustin, Max and Mike who are willing to help their friends in need. I was really terrified when Max almost died but fortunately, they were able to save her.
