DramaThriller

Moscow, 1977. Two 'PONIES' ('persons of no interest' in intelligence speak) work anonymously as secretaries in the American Embassy. That is until their husbands are killed under mysterious circumstances in the USSR, and the pair become CIA operatives. Bea is an over-educated, Russian-speaking child of Soviet immigrants. Her cohort, Twila, is a small-town girl who is as abrasive as she is fearless. Together, they work to uncover a vast Cold War conspiracy and solve the mystery that made them widows in the first place.

ThrillerEspionage

Strongest Match

Betrayal keeps the spy pressure personal, with a veteran operative whose marriage and job loyalty collapse under the same kind of suspicion that drives Ponies. Expect tense scenes of workplace distrust and private fracture tightening around one person, then escalating into a crisis where every secret costs something.

Secret Service

ITVX • Apr 27 • 2026

DramaEspionage

A British intelligence officer races against time to uncover a UK politician's potential ties with the Kremlin, risking her reputation and family, as a murder and election loom.

View show

Why This Pick

Secret Service brings Ponies-style urgency, pairing espionage stakes with a marriage under threat and a ticking deadline that never lets up. You get fast, high-stakes deception scenes where loyalty is tested across boss-employee friction and domestic pressure, with the Cold War shadow hanging over political moves.

Star City

Apple TV • May 29 • 2026

DramaScience Fiction

Soviet cosmonauts, engineers, and intelligence officers risk everything in an ambitious space program aiming to be the first to reach the moon.

View show

Why This Pick

Star City shares Ponies’ Cold War paranoia, but swaps embassy anonymity for a space program where surveillance and ambition grind down people in close quarters. Watch for secrecy-heavy tension, technical problem-solving under threat, and survival-level consequences, with the danger feeling larger-scale and more relentless than the two-women mystery engine in Ponies.
