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!
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!
This show is genuinely hilarious. Like many of these mockumentary style shows or sitcoms they often start off a little slowly. (Not that this show could be described as a mockumentary as such)However, this review comes after episode 3 (Love) which is the best episode so far and I'm already falling in love with all the main characters.
It has been said often of Legit that it has heart, it certainly does, it has oodles of soul perfectly balanced with gut busting laughter.
Reminiscent of Curb your Enthusiasm Legit is cringe-worthy more often than not but you wont be able to look away. A bit like Parks & Rec it started slowly but didn't take long for me to feel great empathy for the main cast, you really want these guys to succeed.
Its a little to early to dissect the characters, suffice it to say, Jim Jefferies' TV packaged portrayal of himself is a little out of step with the Jim Jefferies you'll experience on stage. Albeit the Jim in the TV show seems like a bit of a narcissist and/or sociopath to some extent, slowly going legit and becoming more empathic, which I suppose is the point of the somewhat vague premise. Nevertheless, it still works and it's fair to say the guy can act, He's no DJ Qualls in the acting department but I would give him a robust 7/10 notwithstanding.
Jim manages to deliver his brand of shock value comedy, vulgarity and twisted tales without the unrelenting barrage of epithets and I think its a credit to him.
It goes without saying that Legit will not be for everyone, Jim Jefferies is not considered one of the top dirty stand up comics for no reason.
I'm not sure where this show is headed nor could I say it has much longevity but I'm going to enjoy the ride while it lasts. Why don't you join me.

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
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.
