She then decides to launch an investigation with the help of Hopper (David Harbor), a local sheriff. Will’s friends, Mike (Finn Wolfhard), Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo), and Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin) also try to solve his disappearance with the help of a mysterious young girl who has telekinesis powers named Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown). This show is great if you like mysteries and sci-fi shows.
