Season 1

Woman (2017), Season 1 is a Turkish melodrama you can watch online on iFILM — thirty-two episodes that introduce Bahar, a mother raising two small children alone and keeping them smiling through it.

This first season sets up everything. Bahar was eight when her mother walked out; the grandmother and father who raised her are gone too. She thought solitude was permanent until she met Sarp — the love of her life, her husband, the father of her kids. The happiness didn't last. What follows is poverty, hard neighbours, a past that keeps circling back, and a woman who refuses to break in front of her son and daughter.

Adapted from the Japanese drama Mother, the show rests on Özge Özpirinçci, whose Bahar became one of the most grounded heroines on Turkish television. If you go for family stories where tenderness and grief sit side by side, this season pulls you in for the long haul. Stream Woman Season 1 online on iFILM.
