Synopsis

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.

Scott-101 The show reminds me a lot of Wilfred in that an Australian representing unfettered id teaches an uptight American (or two) to loosen up.You would think that Legit would pale in comparison considering no one dresses up like a dog, but I found something refreshingly unconventional in this breezy ride about a guy who doesn't take his life too seriously. Comedian Jim Jefferies doesn't have the most unique voice in the world but, considering the series does a good job at being congruent with that voice, it's a strong one making it appear stronger.Jefferies basically plays himself: a comedian from Australia who gets his entire income from doing less than five hours of stand-up comedy a week. He moves in with his long-time friend Steve, a middle-aged divorcée legal encyclopedia salesman (who he upstages on career day). In the second episode Steve's paraplegic younger brother Billy (DJ Qualls) moves in. The show earns points for its low-key yet sensitive treatment of a handicapped character.The show revolves around the trio's relatively mundane adventures as they try to negotiate how to be good roommates and teach each other a little about life. The show's adventures are mundane and the show is pretty unapologetic about this. Jim isn't on a mission to better his life, succeed at a career or find true love. More often than not Jim's blasé attitude rubs off on his roommates more than the other way around.Its not a ground-breaking show and won't ever reach the pantheon of great TV but its consistent and has a firm idea of its direction. The chemistry of the main trio is strong enough that the characters developed to the point that the season finale was genuinely emotional.
Joey Deats 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
kurt-walters9-680-628865 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!
Sidknee Westee 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!
