Turn Up Charlie - Season 1
It is a series of powerful events that speak of a beginner DJ named Charlie, a man trying to be a successful music man. Charley is trying to rebuild his successful musical career, but is still facing a major challenge: he is raising the daughter of his 11-year-old friend. The events begin after a successful friend is invited to a wedding, where he begins his musical career again through a powerful and completely unexpected work.

The frankly painful new series - it can't decide if it's a sitcom, comedy-drama or children's soap.

It's frustrating to see an artist with such ambition settle for something so elementary. It's harmless, sure, but it's also inconsequential and unkempt.
