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.

Note: Although I don't think I divulged any show/episode "spoilers" I have marked it as such just to cover my butt. Legit on FX has not disappointed in the least. Jim Jefferies, DJ Qualls and Dan Bakkedahl are the ultimate trio for this "perfect storm" of comedy. After watching the premier episode, which was funny and sweet at the same time, I was completely hooked and now look forward to Thursday nights. The show is as advertised and doesn't try to over do it with the jokes and the pranks. If you haven't seen it yet, see it yesterday! If you're able to, see it from the 1st episode. You won't be disappointed, I know I wasn't. I wasn't even familiar with Jim Jefferies brand of comedy but I'm now a fan!! Keep an eye out for the very funny "50's Dad" and that's all I'll say about that. Legit on FX is another hit in my eyes and should be around for a while...I hope.

I don't understand the hate this show has been getting from some viewers. Legit has some of the funniest, rawest, most original lines I've seen on a TV show, and also has tremendous heart. By the end of the third episode, I was switching between hysterical laughter and tearing up. No, it's not PC, it's raunchy, and its not something you want young kids to see, but the caring in Jim's efforts to make life better for his disabled friend, and the situational humor that goes along with it, make this show one of the best on TV. Or, you could go back to watching your regular broadcast sitcom with a canned laughtrack, in which nothing resembling real life ever occurs...

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!
