I babysit on wednesday evenings, so last 2 times i watched 'Hayat Türkü' at TRT INT (as we cannot receive anything else here). I was just fascinated on listening the voices and pronounciations and i actually really enjoyed it without understanding most things.

But one woman said 'hadi bakalım' ALL the time, like with everything they were gonna do or what..

I'd translate it as 'come on, let's see it'.. but when is it used? Because she used it so many times that it became hard to believe it only meant what i just said.

Or can it be used in a way like 'off you go' too?

Some examples would be nice and u'll receive my eternal gratefullness

the dictionary says this: 'hadi bakalım! Come on then!/Hurry up! '

what were they doing, could this be right?

Hmm the hurry up could be right..
But then she must be a stressed woman because she said it a million times

With this example, do you mean like..

"Well if you think you can do better, show me!"
