Season 1 Review:
Long before the end of its nearly 10-hour run you begin to feel the limitations. Ames and Turner adapted The Miniature Wife from a short story of the same name by Manuel Gonzales, but they needed to bring a lot more to the table to justify this kind of run time. Lindy might not agree, but quite often shorter is better.

Season 1 Review:
Too often, the air leaves the room when Les, Lindy and Vivienne do. Making my way through the screeners, I kept yearning for focus and concision — a version of the show pared down to its most essential elements. For a story about a shrinking woman, “The Miniature Wife” can’t seem to recognize the virtues of staying small.

Season 1 Review:
At the end of Episode 8, my one-word review would have been “Tedious.” Here’s the surprise: “The Miniature Wife” didn’t leave me cold. The characters take us through an array of emotions. Mostly I wanted them to implode—demonstratively—but that’s NOT nothing. .... Episode 9 is a Hail Mary that pulls you back in for a somewhat satisfying final Episode 10.
