Example:

My Favorite TV Show



My favorite TV show is Game of Thrones. I usually watch it once a week. It´s about 4 families (The Starks, Baratheons, Lannisters and Targaryens) that try to rule over the 7 kingdoms. The main characters are Jon Snow, who is a loyal and honorable warrior and Daenerys Targaryen, who is a queen with 3 dragons. I love this show because it´s so unpredictable. You never know what is going to happen to your favorite characters.
