Mar 19, 2019Loved the show. Charlie and Gab's relationship is the anchor. The parents, David and Sara, are so wrapped up in their own to thigs to see how they are hurting their child. Charlie as mentor and friend for Gabs was brilliant.

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.

The slightness and lightness are soothing, in this quiet-storm remix of a sitcom pastiche. You feel that he has been wise enough to delight in the foolishness of Charlie’s situation, and you feel charmed to be let in on his boondoggle.

As is, the series does many things, few of them well, despite containing all or most of the necessary ingredients. I suppose there’s a DJ analogy in there somewhere, but Turn Up Charlie can’t seem to find it, and neither can I.
