Waitress -- 10/9c on Cinemax
The late, great Adrienne Shelly’s indie dramedy finally hits the small screen, for which it is probably best-suited. The witty actress/writer/director didn’t live to see arguably her best work--Shelly was murdered in her apartment after Waitress was finished but before it was released--or the joy it spread when released last summer. The movie centers around a waitress (duh!), played with great subtlety by Keri Russell, whose only hope in life is to win a pie-baking contest…before she gets pregnant. Best viewed with a pie nearby. Seriously.
