Turn Up Charlie

[Dove]

A Netflix series starring Idris Elba. We took a shot and I find myself loling quite a bit.

Elba plays a one hit wonder rap star who is down. A successful music mogul childhood friend hires him to be his nanny. Kid is a pip.

Eight episodes. We're through two.

Reviews were brutal. His story decent - the nanny story bad.

I didn't read reviews, just looking for something new.

Watched episodes 3 and 4 and the laughs were down. Elba carries this thing. And halfway through I have regrets but these are 30 minute throwaways.

I just happened to hear one on a podcast and their reaction was similar to yours.
