Tetya Marta (Seasons 1–2)

Tetya Marta (Тётя Марта, 2022) is a Russian comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Marta is only eight, yet she's the one keeping the household afloat — paying the rent, running the chores and minding her grandfather, who needs looking after far more than she does. Vitalia Kornienko and Yuri Kuznetsov lead the cast, with Evgeny Shelyakin directing.

The catch: if anyone finds out how she really lives, it's straight to an orphanage. So Marta keeps her teacher, the local cop and a glamorous neighbor in the dark, and talks a washed-up actor into playing her dad. Then an uncle from Kazan, the smooth-talking schemer Marat, decides to move to Moscow — and what he's really after isn't his niece but the grandfather's apartment. Pushing this self-sufficient kid out the door turns out to be much harder than he bargained for.

The whole family comedy runs on one contrast: a tiny grown-up versus a pack of overgrown men who never matured. Kornienko carries the show almost single-handed; without her the premise would fall apart. An easy evening pick for the whole household, light on grit and clear on its moral.
