It looks quiet, staid, buttoned-up. Its title refers to the maker of tiny items to go in doll houses. How riveting could that be? Very much so, actually. Mostly because the miniaturist of the title is not someone we meet until the end of the three-episode series, although their creations seem to be driving the story....

There are plenty of greatBattlestar Galacticaepisodes out there. The very first episode, “33,” is a masterclass in how to successfully kick off a series, and the Season 3 two-parter “Exodus” keeps us pinned to our seats as we wonder if New Caprica can survive.
