Events begin after a reconnection with a very successful friend at a wedding, where Charlie gets a real chance of success by receiving a completely unexpected work offer, which lead him into another challenge.

If Turn Up Charlie never fully catches fire, exactly, it crackles along quite pleasantly - evolving, over the course of eight episodes, into something a lot more tangled and interesting than its initial premise suggests.

It's frustrating to see an artist with such ambition settle for something so elementary. It's harmless, sure, but it's also inconsequential and unkempt.

Unfortunately, this series really contains two mismatched shows that cannibalize each other and take down the whole ship.

The frankly painful new series - it can't decide if it's a sitcom, comedy-drama or children's soap.

The only consistent pleasure of Turn Up Charlie is, most likely, the only reason you gave this show a shot in the first place: the copious footage of Idris Elba DJing...

Elba has a nice rapport with all of his co-stars, Hervey in particular, but the whole thing just left me wanting to see Elba demonstrate his chops in a better-written comedy.

Turn Up Charlie plays like an engrossing screwball battle of wits between the DJ and his 12-year-old charge, a cruel Gen Z spawn from Hell played by an extraordinary child newcomer, Frankie Hervey.

Though it can be binge-watched painlessly enough,... Turn Up Charlie is such a disassembled example of a "Welcome to my world" TV show that it ought to come with its own Allen wrench.

Idris, a keen DJ himself under the name Driis, milks much humour from Charlie's "old man" persona in the digital playground of modern beats.

Turn Up Charlie does a fantastic job of winding up self-centered twits into tossing epic fits and snits. If only it expended as much effort on making things, you know, funny.
