Jim Jefferies, an edgy, foul-mouthed stand-up comedian from Australia, in his mid-30s and living in LA, is endeavoring to make his life and career more “legit,” only to find it a difficult, uncomfortable uphill struggle every step of the way. Jim is encouraged in his quest by Steve, his neurotic best friend and roommate, a cyber-law library salesman who struggles to stay on his feet in the wake of a divorce, and Steve’s brother Billy, who suffers from advanced staged Muscular Dystrophy and is confined to a wheelchair.

Reviews

BadSurge ...and this show hits a fairly consistent stride of humor. It begins to rely less on Jim's established jokes from his stand-up. The episodes aren't constantly hilarious, but certain scenes in every episode get me howling with laughter. Jim is an easy guy to watch, and DJ Qualls is great as Jim's quadriplegic friend, who provides a lot of the heart of Legit. Do not listen to Mick S's review. Anyone who believes that Jim Jefferies' stand-up relies solely on shock value and is completely void of intelligent wit is truly an idiot. And I suppose Louis CK only tells gay jokes, right?Also, do not listen to Jbond's. Letting one joke in one episode ruin a whole show for you is childish and bull-headed. Jfpoitras is king of the idiots, however. Two episodes in and you write the show off. Then you rush down to IMDb to tell everyone about your quarter-baked opinion? Good God, not every show has to hook you from the pilot, you monkey. Scrubs was atrocious during the beginning of season one. Then it hit a stride and finally became funny. If you only watched the pilot, you'd think it's the dumbest show ever made. I have hope for this show. I wish it was on regular FX, but I'm grateful to see it on Netflix. Hopefully season 2 does even better and features even more great guest stars. I couldn't be happier that Jim Jefferies has a show. I feel as proud as Gunther.
jbond5492 I just watched my last episode of Legit. This series started out funny but has sunk to become unbearable. At what point does running over someone's beloved house cat multiple times and then tossed in the dumpster in front of a child become funny? The writers on this show have some serious issues and should seek professional help. This writing is by someone who has obviously has never known the joy and love a pet can bring to a home. This episode perpetuates a sick belief that somehow violence against an animal can be comical. The writing has a stink very similar to the smell of the writing on Wilfred, which I also liked at first but was forced to stop watching for the same reason. To say nothing against the offensive writing on this show would be morally and ethically wrong on my part. This show should be avoided at all costs. Too bad for the non cat hating crew and the fine actors on this cast. I wonder what any of them thought about this script, I can think of an honored place next to my toilet.
Mick S I made a point of watching Jim Jefferies stand-up before watching the first episode of 'legit' and you can see how he has weaved his vulgar/offensive jokes into the show. Unfortunately, this will turn a LOT of viewers off it. Make sure the kids don't sneak into the room while your watching because you might have lots to explain to them. But as an adult comedy show it is refreshingly funny. Jim's character is unbelievably offensive, but not in a nasty way. He will say and do whatever fun ideas pop into his head, however his brain isn't wired for conversations with Mr and Mrs average American. DJ Quols does a brilliant job as a quadriplegic confined to a wheelchair who just wants to 'live'... I must admit I'm not a fan of his stand-up because it relies on shocking the audience rather than intelligent wit.
Regor Tejmar 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.
