'Turn Up Charlie' review: Idris Elba grooves, channels the 'goofy father' in him for Netflix show

Netflix's 'Turn Up Charlie' sees Idris Elba play David — a struggling DJ who ends up babysitting his successful friend's daughter Gabby
PUBLISHED MAR 11, 2019

Here is the perfect replacement for any of your short, binge-worthy sitcoms. Netflix's 'Turn Up Charlie' is a fun watch that is much less demanding than Idris Elba's popular show 'Luther' but it is just as gripping.

The 'Sexiest Man Alive' — who has given us macho roles such as Heimdall in 'Thor', Stringer Bell in 'The Wire' and the titular detective in 'Luther' — has broken the mold yet again with a comedic role of a manny, something he said he would do in many of his previous interviews.
