Season 1

My Little Girl (Kızım, 2018), Season 1 — watch online on iFILM the Turkish family drama whose 34 episodes follow an eight-year-old searching Istanbul for the father she has never met.

Öykü has been raised by her aunt, so when the woman packs up and leaves nothing but a note with a name and an address, the child sets out alone. The trail leads to Demir, a small-time con man who had no idea he had a daughter. He scrapes by on schemes with his partner Ugur and is lining up a bigger score when this little girl turns his plans upside down. A court releases him only on the condition that he look after her, and a man who grew up in an orphanage has to figure out how to be a parent. Across the season the two are pushed together while the secret Öykü carries slowly comes to light.

What carries it is Beren Gökyıldız as Öykü — a child performance the whole show leans on. This season suits viewers who like patient Turkish melodrama with a long emotional arc. Stream My Little Girl Season 1 online on iFILM.
