If you've never saw or heard any of Jim Jefferies' stand up comedy, you are really in for a treat. If your a fan of Jim's already, you may know some of the stories but it is more than worth it to watch the stories come to life. The first season is scattered with stories that the avid JJ fan will know well, but Jim's writing transfers to the small screen so well, you'll find yourself laughing as if its all new material. The second season really found its identity and seems to have gotten cancelled right when it was finding its audience. (Due in part to the show's move to the hard to find *In Canada* FXX channel). I truly believe if this show had a little more time a la "It's Always Sunny" the show very well would have developed a cult following of its own. Make sure to watch it on Netflix and rate it as you see fit, and if you like it, please join the other fans in tweeting out to Jim and FX #Bring Back Legit

The Comedians

Great Show, Very Underrated
20 May 2015
I heard about this show from Bill Burr's Monday Morning Podcast because he describes it as the closest thing to reality, showing what its like for comedians to try and get a show on the air. Its only appropriate that this shows is paired with Louie on FX as they both stretch the bounds between funny and uncomfortable. Although it isn't on par with the brilliance that Louie brings, it carries its own very well and has made me long for new episodes as badly as Louie, It's Always Sunny, and Archer. It is still in it's initial stages and obviously hasn't found it's audience judging by the low rating it has accumulated so far. Let me say this though, I have never felt the need to sign up for an online account due to unjust reviews until now. Billy Crystal is in his finest form in years, and although Josh Gadd plays an understandably irritating character, the shows writers have done a fantastic job building the character into someone that you can feel empathy for. Great Show!
