The Miniature Wife (PILOT)

Has anyone ever made you feel small? Well, maybe check out The Miniature Wife and you’ll feel a little better. From Ronny Chieng’s self-absorbed billionaire persona, to Matthew Macfadyen doing his own gloriously narcissistic science-guy routine, to Elizabeth Banks falling victim to her husband’s invention gone wrong, in this episode we review the best and worst of the 39-minute pilot, “Lady Tomato and Mr. F. Tomato-Head.”
Tune in to hear our comparisons, how the show defied our assumptions, some of the broader differences from Manuel Gonzales’s original short story, the critical reception, and where it lands on our rating scale. Welcome to today’s episode!
