Küçük Kadınlar (Little Women) is a drama from D Productions, inspired by the world classic book of the same name. It began on Kanal D in the summer of 2008 and, thanks to high ratings, continued into the winter season; from episode 79 it was broadcast on Star TV. It ran for three seasons and ended on March 13, 2011, with its 120th episode, because of falling ratings and a script that had grown too long. Deniz Akçay Katıksız wrote it, Ayşe Durmaz produced it and Hakan Arslan directed it. It was filmed in a mansion in Anadoluhisarı.

The story is about five sisters whose dreams are wrecked in a single day: Elif (20, a law student), Armağan (17), Yeliz (15), Bilge (12) and Cansu (6). Their parents die while the family lives in the section assigned to them in the mansion they guard; they lose their mother in a car accident and their father in an attack in Iraq. The two eldest hide their father's death for a while so the younger ones are not hurt, and Cansu stops speaking. Bade, the steward of the neighboring mansion, and her nephew Ali support them, while their aunt Şevki wants to adopt Cansu.

The cast includes Kıvanç Kasabalı, Elit İşcan, Fulya Zenginer, Hande Soral and Özge Borak, with Ayça Bingöl, Birkan Sokullu, Ali İl and Burak Serdar Şanal. In Serbia the series began on Happy TV in 2016 but was cut off midway; it was shown again on the same channel from June 12 to November 12, 2020, and again was not completed.

Through different eyes

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

The five sisters losing their parents and trying to stand on their own is a heavy start: the mother dies in a car accident, the father in an attack, and the youngest, Cansu, stops speaking. This grief theme should be kept in mind before watching with small children. But the series stresses warm values such as sisterhood, solidarity and neighborly help. It can be watched as a family, though it carries an emotional load; keep tissues ready. A story that opens conversation for teenagers and parents.

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

Küçük Kadınlar's biggest problem is length: it ended after 120 episodes because of falling ratings and a script that had grown too long. Each of the five sisters has her own path; character growth can be well shared among Elif, Armağan, Yeliz, Bilge and Cansu. High ratings extended the first season into winter, so it clearly caught on at the start. Then the move from Kanal D to Star TV and the story's sag must have spoiled the rhythm. Strong start, tired ending.

Cinephile Looks at script, editing and directing choices; keeps a distance from formula films.

Inspired by the world classic, the series moves the story to the guard's section of a mansion in Anadoluhisarı; this localization is a clever step. But the classic's fine proportion is hard to keep in a long-running television series: 120 episodes outgrow the balance of a single novel. The mansion setting and the five sisters at different ages open strong doors for the story. But the script's lengthening loosens the weave. A lovely idea, uneven execution. The sisters' age differences lend themselves to different viewpoints; the task lies in using them in balance.
