Season 1 Review:
Some reveals were jaw-dropping, and that’s not an overexaggeration. There are a ton of unanswered questions and mysteries. Ultimately, the ending of season 1 primes us for a second season, and Peacock would be foolish not to renew Ponies because they’ve created a unique and utterly irresistible spy show.

Season 1 Review:
Their [Emilia Clarke and Haley Lu Richardson's] chemistry, and the absurdity of their situation, propels the story over any early “wait, what?” bumps and confusing tonal shifts into an increasingly propulsive and cohesive spy drama, with plenty of “trust no one” twists and turns, and the kind of period detail that would make “Mad Men” proud.

Season 1 Review:
Ponies is zippy, fluffy, and a little vacuous, but when it mines the tension between two women learning to make themselves invisible to succeed at work and simultaneously feeling seen and understood within their growing friendship, the show reaches an elemental truth that has nothing to do with American or Soviet aggression.
