...Despite occasional moments of deeper meaning or true hilarity, “The Mineola Twins” largely hits period stereotypes. In its comedic moments, the show evokes chuckles rather than real laughs from Myra’s idolization of Beat poetry or Myrna’s inability to distinguish between distant figures in the newspapers, like Arthur Miller or Stalin...
...hear families tell it, the birth-order effect may only be getting stronger. In the past, girls were usually knocked out of the running for the job and college perks their place in the family should have accorded them. In most other ways, however, there was little to distinguish a first-, second- or third-born sister from a first-, second- or third-born brother.

Unfortunately, this commitment proves an indelible action. The relationship between Wong and Mr. Yee absorbs the two until it is impossible to distinguish performance from truth. Initially, Wong, an inexperienced schoolgirl, channels a darker side solely for her unfolding professional life. Yee, conversely, a man known for his animalistic brutality, bares a worn, solitary countenance behind closed doors. These two dichotomous characters unwittingly create a relationship that assumes a dual nature in itself...
