    Netflix just scored a comedy coup. The service has unveiled Turn Up Charlie, a comedy series starring and partly executive produced by Idris Elba. The half-hour show has Elba playing a "struggling" single DJ (fitting given his extensive DJ background) who gets another chance when he becomes the caretaker for a famous friend's rebellious daughter. Basically, it's Charles in Charge with mixing and scratching. There's no release date yet, but production on the first eight-episode season starts in May.
