Kızım Nerede?

TV Series · 2010–2011 · 11 people

Adapted from the 2009 Chilean telenovela ¿Dónde está Elisa?, Kızım Nerede? (Where Is My Daughter?) is a Turkish crime and drama series that Medya Vizyon made together with TVN and Telemundo. Over two seasons and 26 episodes it ran on atv from December 17, 2010 until the summer of 2011. Ersoy Güler was its first director, followed by the brothers Ulaş and Atıl İnaç, and English-language distributors sold it as Missing.

Ece Uslu, Hüseyin Avni Danyal, Özge Gürel and Burak Hakkı share the lead roles, and Tolga Savacı also appears. The story follows the family of Zafer Demiray, a well-known businessman, thrown into turmoil when his daughter Zeynep disappears from a nightclub one night.

The broadcast run was troubled. Ece Uslu left after episode 23 because the production company had not paid her. The series then paused from May 23 to July 11, 2011, moved from Saturday to Monday, changed its script and added a character, Sedef, played by Özgül Kavruk. When Monday brought poor ratings it returned to Saturday. After the 25th episode, Hüseyin Avni Danyal and Burak Hakkı announced they would leave for the same reason, the decision was taken to end it, and the 26th episode was the finale.

Through different eyes

Action & Thriller Fan Puts pace, tension and set pieces first; little patience for slow drama.

A girl who vanishes from a nightclub one night, the family of a well-known businessman and a pile of unanswered questions: Kızım Nerede comes with a strong setup for a thriller. Disappearance stories lock you to the screen when they're built right, and this premise is exactly that kind. But the show's broadcast troubles cut into the momentum. With a break in the run, script changes and lead actors leaving, it can't sustain the tension it builds and wraps up after 26 episodes.

Series Binger A series devotee tracking character arcs, cast chemistry and season pacing.

An adaptation of the Chilean ¿Dónde está Elisa?, Kızım Nerede is on paper a perfect one-more-episode show: a missing girl, a shaken family and a circle where anyone could be a suspect. The cast of Ece Uslu, Hüseyin Avni Danyal, Özge Gürel and Burak Hakkı is strong too. The trouble is what happened to the show on air. With Ece Uslu leaving after episode 23, a pause in the run, a change of night, the late addition of the character Sedef and finally two more leads walking away, the story ends before it ever finds its rhythm. After an intriguing start, it leaves the impression of a finale wrapped up in a hurry.

Family Viewer Asks whether the whole household can watch it; cares about humor and heart.

Kızım Nerede is a crime series about a family searching for their missing daughter. The subject is heavy enough to put parents on edge, with themes of disappearance and crime. It isn't suitable for young children and could frighten them. For adults and older teens it makes for tense viewing. Just know before you start that, because cast members left, the series ends at episode 26.
