Joined by his neurotic best friend and roommate, Steve (DAN BAKKEDAHL), and Steve\u2019s wheelchair-bound brother, Billy (DJ QUALLS), Jim takes comedy to a whole new level, whether it\u2019s visiting a Las Vegas brothel, partying with the mentally challenged or trying to pick up women at a gay bar.<\/p>\n<p><b>Quick Hit Review: <\/b>I honestly had no idea what to expecting going into this first season of <b>\u201cLegit\u201d<\/b> having only heard of comedian Jim Jefferies in passing but never having heard his stand-up routine, and I have to admit, while the laughs are uneven, for a freshman season, it\u2019s well put together with a fun cast that includes DJ Qualls who finally gets some much deserved screen time while Jefferies himself, kind of like Jerry Seinfeld before him, more or less plays himself and brings his routine into the episode format. Along with Jefferies, Qualls and Dan Bakkedahl, Mindy Sterling is wonderful as Steve and Billy\u2019s overbearing mother who also is a hoarder (or collector).<\/p>\n<p>Overall, <b>\u201cLegit\u201d<\/b> season one is an oft funny show that will certainly offend most which is comedy right up my alley. Jefferies makes for the perfect lead and his supporting cast rounds things out quite well.<\/p>\n<p><b>Episodes:<br \/>\n<\/b>1. Pilot<br \/>\n2. Dreams<br \/>\n3. Love<br \/>\n4. Anger<br \/>\n5.
