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

Pilot episode review: I have been a fan of Jim Jefferies for many years. His stand-up comedy is mix of crudeness, vulgarity and pure brilliance. If that doesn't sound like your cup of tea, then there is no point even bothering to check out this series. "Legit" is a show similar to Louis C.K's "Louie", but it's not quite the same since Louie episodes are made up with different sketches. Jim Jefferies plays himself and the story of the pilot is taken from one of his older stand-up routines where he helps his friend's disabled and dying brother get laid at a whorehouse. The dialogue and situations that occur are both funny and well acted, and it is quite moving in it's own strange way. If the rest of the episodes keep up the same quality I think it will be a hit series for us who enjoy dark comedy.

Jim Jefferies is hilarious, he's crude and a @#$hole but you have to love him, and he reminds us a bit of ourselves at the same time. Also he's just funny, unlike certain actors in comedy's. i was waiting for another stand up DVD but found this. A lot of his jokes from his stand ups are little scenarios so his comedy adapts well to TV. He's more in your face than Louie C.K. like an Australian Kenny Powers. I can't wait to see a certain number of jokes played out in his show as well. I can see fans of Eastbound and down, Wilfred, Workaholics and south park enjoying this. Also fans of Curb and Louie will like it. The first show you can tell it was a bit off mark but I can definitely see it getting more polished. Please make heaps of season's FX!

If your a Jim Jefferies fan, then this series is right up your alley. The only major issue with the show is that he's been forced to tone down his language for commercial TV, but I solved this problem by imagining he's using the 'c' word whenever he swears. If your not a fan then I suggest you just stick to watching re-runs of '7th Heaven'. DJ Qualls is a standout character, he plays his part brilliantly. However, Dan Bakkedahl seems like he doesn't belong in any of his scenes, it's a bit hard to explain, maybe he's just trying too hard? I better not forget to mention 'Rodney' played by Nick Daley, he looks like he's having the time of his life in the scenes he's in. The other actors could take a leaf out of his book. One drawback of the show is that you'll break out in spontaneous giggles whenever you remember parts of the show, which isn't a good look on a crowded bus.
