Amazing work on the Elizabeth Banks SW content. It's almost surreal how incredible of an SW she makes, and the fact that we are actually getting something like this. Given modern day SFX, It just might be some of the best content the community has ever gotten.
After reading the mini-story several times, a few things have come to mind. First off, the storywriters of the Peacock series will have some work to do, to fill out the storyline and make it more interesting for viewers. Some ideas that came to mind that could possibly be implemented (granted this is all dubious speculation and wishful thinking), would be to paint the husband under a bad light, making the viewer sympathize with the shrunken wife and her perspective. One way they could do that would be to write in a flirtatious "friend of the family", a woman who has a thing for the husband and jumps in when she finds out Elizabeth's character is shrunken. Sparking an all out war between not only the husband, but the woman as well. Interaction between the two would be hostile, if the mistress ever catches the shrunken wife. Or if the wife seeks revenge while the woman is at the house, like setting traps for her, putting things in her shoes to step on etc.
The way most narratives are nowadays, I believe they will make the husband seem very chauvinistic, and find ways to empower the wife. One thing is for sure, the writers of the series have a lot of screen adaptation ahead of them. Which direction they choose will be interesting to see play out.
