Im honestly gonna be seated on how the sound design is going to be in Lindy's perspective. we already had a preview of it when Les exclaims out loud when he sees her fine in the trailer, how booming his regular voice actually is compared to her. imagine how loud it must be when its not voices, but footsteps, doors, etc. not to mention i want to see ANGLES, they also set the atmostphere. i need that.
Yeah, they show how his voice is booming to her and how she has to use a bullhorn in the trailer. But there are other scenes in the trailer--particularly the final one with the wedding band and her "wear it as a crown" response--when they communicate almost normally.

Got another new online article at COLLIDER.

This includes a video of Les pitching his miniaturization process. Not a spoiler by any means, but it kinda shows that Les might be a little self-absorbed. It's pretty funny.

An interview with the series creators in Women's World Magazine.

It's interesting to hear that one of them, Jennifer Ames, came across the short story, noting that it's narrated by his point of view, and realized there was so much more to milk from it by giving the wife a voice. They said they used events in the story as a tent pole to flesh out a lot more, especially typical marriage stuff. That's pretty cool.

Oh, and there's one reveal, which I'll tag as a spoiler, even though it's something I believe I predicted in my big compendium last summer:
SpoilerShow
What makes The Miniature Wife stand out is that it doesn’t rush to that premise. Instead, it takes time to establish the relationship before everything changes, which doesn’t happen until the very end of the first episode.
