It's coarse and sometimes dirty to the touch, but pretty damned hilarious at crunch times. FX just might have the standout new comedy series of this season.

Obviously Legit isn't yet in the realm of Louie, one of the best comedies on television, but like Wilfred before it, the show is setting its tone early and hitting that aforementioned sweet spot impressively.

Awesome series, Jim Jeffries is a great comic and the cast is superb. Do not miss but do come with an open mind and don't get on a non-pc rant about disability!!

I had heard about Jim Jeffries from other comics but I have never seen his stand up. He was on a podcast and they talked about his show, Legit of course, and I was willing to give it a try. I think it is brilliant. I sure hope he is getting the ratings necessary for the network to sign him for another season or three.

Jefferies' comedy is by turn smart, obvious, thoughtful and irritating, and quite as much may be said of his series--though his stage demeanor (loud, brash and in control) is softened considerably here by dint of his being a character living among other characters.

Legit comes off as appalling at first but after a few episodes, you get used to how awful Jefferies is and the show even allows for a few skewed, sweet moments.

The series is a nearly unbearable assemblage of recycled sitcom plots that aims to spotlight Jefferies's specific breed of unashamedly mean-spirited witticisms.

I think this is the funniest show on tv right now. The writers kill me. Our family uses "He left the room" all the time! Stomach wrenching laughs every minute. The characters are fresh and never boring! Love this show. Hope it stays on for many seasons!

If you have a somewhat off-beat, morbid sense of humor, this show is for you! The writing is great, while the scenarios are serious, this show doesn't take itself too seriously and the cast is stellar. Jim Jefferies delivers a performance that makes you really like Jim, who is pretty much self involved but clearly has a heart. I'd suggest you check this show out- I didn't want the episode to end! Would love to see Sonya Eddy in more episodes!

Before watching the show I watched all of Jefferies Stand-up DVD's so I knew his material. What this show is simply setting up situations to string together his material. And it doesn't do that too well. Some ideas are pretty funny but most of it feels forced together.

"don't mind him, he's Australian" .... wow.. just wow.. I'm Australian myself and I don't think I personally know anyone who would act like the main character does in this show. The cliché jokes used in the first episode were terrible, it was as if the writer didn't think it was worth trying anything new. The whole show seemed like a bad example of how comedy should be done and anyone thinking this is anything like Louie will be sorely disappointed.
