Legit

Okay, so I was a little skeptical on this show seeing as Anger Management was really bad and how disappointing is was to see Unsupervised go, but after seeing how good The Americans is and the return of Archer I decided to give this show a chance. It was excellent. I mean while not the best show on FX, it is a very well structured one. One person helps another man look after his brother, who has muscular dystrophy, which sucks to have in the first place. I think DJ Quall does an excellent job as Billy and Jim Jefferies does a good job as Jim. Dan Bakkedahl isn't really funny, but he wasn't meant to be funny, he was meant to be the serious guy who looks after his sick brother. Then there are a hilarious amount of bit characters in there too. 9/10

The first episode was great however the show vastly improves as it goes on. I'm reviewing this after episode 4 which was one of the funniest 20 minutes i've had in a long time! The story is building and the cast is settling in.

Give it a chance people!

Sure Jim Jefferies style will be new to many people - and that's what makes this show so refreshing. Jim tells it just like he really see's it and takes this type of comedy way past what Curb your Enthusiasm and Ricky Gervais have done.

BTW - I'm always on IMDb but have never bothered to review any of the fantastic films and TV shows I've watched of the years. Legit has made me step up - it's that good!

Stick with it guys - at least get to episode 2

I just finished watching this and could easily watch it again. This was so much more than I was expecting from another comedians "new show". Instead of it looking like some guy who writes gags and has drunk people come and see him for a laugh,Jim looked very comfortable as an actor and didn't over act or ham it up once. Jim's delivery along with his facial expressions are perfect and actually remind of a couple of mates of mine. DJ was spot on too and played his character with realistic humour. I hope I'm still raving about this in a few years when it's still on. Sooo much room for characters and scenarios I definitely hope people "get" this show and it lives a happy life. Can't wait to see Jim in Sydney this May!

Just stumbled on this show and I'm so glad I did! I'm not familiar with Jim Jeffries' comedy... Maybe that is a good thing, but this show is hilarious! If you want to see "masterful acting" go see Les Miserables or some crap like that. Wanna see funny? Watch this! No, it's not for the kiddies, but I just watched it on a Thursday night at about 10 PM. Responsible parents already have their kiddies tucked in bed by then, so if little Jane or Johnny is still up, don't blame TV programming for any problems. It might be obnoxious humor to some and if strong language offends you then perhaps it's best that you skip this show. As for me, I will check the schedule and eagerly await the next episode.

I don't understand the hate this show has been getting from some viewers. Legit has some of the funniest, rawest, most original lines I've seen on a TV show, and also has tremendous heart. By the end of the third episode, I was switching between hysterical laughter and tearing up. No, it's not PC, it's raunchy, and its not something you want young kids to see, but the caring in Jim's efforts to make life better for his disabled friend, and the situational humor that goes along with it, make this show one of the best on TV. Or, you could go back to watching your regular broadcast sitcom with a canned laughtrack, in which nothing resembling real life ever occurs...
