‘Crazier Than Fiction.’ Emilia Clarke’s Spy Series Ponies Is Getting Strong Reactions From Critics

The series Ponies takes place in the Soviet Union during the 1970s. When Bea and Twila’s CIA husbands die unexpectedly, the two secretaries step in to take their place as spies, believing their ‘Persons of No Interest’ status will give them an advantage. Collider’s Tania Hussain gave the show an 8/10, calling it one of the most promising new series of 2026 thanks to its strong writing and performances.
