Washington PostHank StueverMar 14, 2019
Season 1 Review: Clunky. ... Though it can be binge-watched painlessly enough (especially by those looking for Elba eye-candy), 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. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterTim GoodmanMar 13, 2019
Season 1 Review: Turn Up Charlie isn't [a watchable series], mostly because of all the ridiculous conceits added to the premise, which effectively shift the lead of the series to a child actress written to be insanely annoying and who delivers on that in every scene she's in. Read full review

Season 1 Review: In other words, not even Turn Up Charlie can totally kill Elba’s natural charisma by bludgeoning it to death with a turntable. But as Charlie careens from one baffling decision to the next, it sure seems determined to try. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Like a garage remix of Nick Hornby’s About a Boy, feckless Charlie and friendless Gabby begin to bond, learn from each other and become (pass the sick bucket) better people. Unfortunately, the early episodes are so unremittingly awful that surely only masochists or Elba family members will make it that far. Read full review
