Review of Legit

Legit (2013–2014)
9/10
Just get past the first few episodes...
29 April 2014
...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.
