Synopsis
Turn Up Charlie (2019) is a British comedy-drama on Netflix you can watch online on iFILM. Charlie is a DJ who had a moment of fame years ago and hasn't come close since. His reluctant route back: taking a job as a nanny for the chaotic eleven-year-old daughter of his celebrity best friend.
The show was created by and stars Idris Elba, who brings an easy self-deprecating energy to a premise that could easily tip into sitcom formula. The dynamic between Charlie and the girl is the show's actual engine — she is difficult in a way that keeps the comedy grounded. Piper Perabo plays the mother; Rina Sawayama turns up across a few episodes and makes more impression than her screen time suggests.
Eight episodes, light on pretension. Stream Turn Up Charlie online on iFILM.
