Turn Up Charlie (2019 Idris Elba / Gary Reich)

A Netflix eight-parter is in that tradition of smart and sassy girls and their relationship with adults - Paper Moon and The Goodbye Girl spring to mind. Here, DJ Idris Elba becomes Frankie Hervey's baby-sitter, with parents Pipa Perabo and JJ Feild, Angela Griffin (rather good), Jade Anouka, Guz Khan, Jocelyn Lee Esien (the aunt).

Georgia Lester wrote them. As Q observed, it's good to see a vulnerable Idris. Different, satisfying.


Didn't think much of the house music on offer, though.
