Legit

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.

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!

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

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.

This show is brilliant! I didn't think I'd like it. But, I'm glad I was wrong! Glad there's representation of the differently-abled community. They're just as funny and human, as the rest of us.

DJ Qualls is brilliant as the quadriplegic best friend, and even made me cry.

I wish I could write a lot more, but would contain spoilers. Please, check it out, both seasons(?) is on Hulu, currently.
