'The Miniature Wife' review: Show has big tricks up its sleeve — Elizabeth Banks and Matthew Macfadyen lead this fantastical and surprisingly substantive dramedy.

I watched the entire season, just finished it few minutes ago, I enjoyed it, Elizabeth Banks and Matthew Macfadyen committed to its ridiculous premise, it was fun to watch. I do agree with the reviewer that the series felt unfocused in the middle of the season, thankfully, I think this series has a strong finale.

That’s why I love Liz Banks. Leading lady looks but she jumps at the chance to get weird.

Yeah, it feels like one long, high-budget Twilight Zone bit that somehow escaped the writers’ room. I’d give it three episodes before deciding if it’s actually “good.”

I say, if it’s fun, it’s good. We need much more of this good in our lives, in our 🇺🇸, ESPECIALLY, these days. 🌈💖🐸🗽💙🇺🇸😇🇺🇸💙🐸💖🙏🏼

Same stopped watching after first episode. Another show where every character is a pos. It is tiring to watch to be honest. Great premise but lack of any character to root for ruined it for me.

Dude the daughter is no picnic either.

Yes they’re terrible people like I don’t want to waste my time with their bad energy- they needed to write in more vulnerability not just calloused hostility.

That's what I liked about it. Without the dark edge it would have been too lighthearted for me.

💯!!! it certainly isn’t honey I shrunk the kids! Yes, it’s quite obnoxious.. sigh

I just finished. Enjoy dark comedy and complicated storylines. It had a really good ending too, so I loved it.

Yes!!!! Exactly.

Or if all the stuff with Les and Lindy tormenting each other was _all in their heads._ Like, the stress of the upcoming deadline and the lack of sleep and the guilt over shrinking Lindy was making him paranoid that Lindy was out to get him. You could’ve had the moat in the bedroom but have Lindy just be like, “What the hell brought on this?”. And on Lindy’s side, have it be that she has what’s known in _Hush_ as “Writer’s Brain” where she’s constantly coming up with wacky scenarios and flawed personalities like she’s creating characters, but is projecting them onto other people when such traits don’t exist or not to the degree she thinks. 

I couldn't stand the wife after her affair and then complained about moving to a RED STATE. as if that's not something everyone secretly wants to do.

I’m starting to think you may not actually be a Vampire hunter!

The realism of the premise doesn't bother me. It's one of those stories you just have to hand wave like Back to the Future, Star Trek, Star Wars, etc. I actually liked the series. I just thought some of the characters reactions were not true to what had come earlier. I agree with everyones comments that the family is made up of not very nice characters, and every time you think they're about to go through a redemption arch, they backslide considerably. Still, I'd like to see a Season 2.

What if they removed all the extra atoms?

Watching it now and it's bugging me too. Not happy to see you talking about some fly shenanigans to make it worse later

It also had elements of Home Alone!

The short story only shows the husband's POV, by necessity this shows more, but I think they did a good job of fleshing out the other characters, the twist of the short story is revealed pretty early and telegraphed instead of being a surprise. I'm only half way through but my main complaint is not many laughs, the work storyline feels like Better Off Ted without any good jokes.

Yes, they did do a good job, because although this subject has been done before, its done from a different perspective, & it’s still cute as hell. And we can use as much cute as we can get in this 🇺🇸 right now.

One brief sex scene- no nudity at all with it.

Oh Jesus Christ

This is why we stopped watching. No real dialogue just swear words.
