Ponies poster

Ponies

Peacock • Jan 15 • 2026
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.

Why This Pick

If you’re drawn to Star City’s Cold War pressure-cooker of ideology, surveillance, and human sacrifice inside a state-run mission, Ponies delivers the same era-specific paranoia with intimate, grief-driven espionage stakes in 1977 Moscow.

The Copenhagen Test poster

The Copenhagen Test

Peacock • Dec 27 • 2025
MysteryAction & Adventure

A first-generation analyst realizes his brain's hacked, allowing access to his senses. Stuck between the agency and hackers, he acts normal to reveal the culprits.

View show
Why This Pick

For Star City’s taut, institutional dread where technology and power turn people into assets, The Copenhagen Test brings a similarly claustrophobic espionage nightmare that weaponizes perception and autonomy.

Slow Horses poster

Slow Horses

Apple TV • Sep 24 • 2022
CrimeDrama

A dysfunctional team of MI5 agents navigate the espionage world's smoke and mirrors to defend the UK from sinister forces.

View show
Why This Pick

If Star City’s serious engineering-and-intelligence atmosphere appeals to you, Slow Horses offers a British intelligence workplace where loyalty is negotiable, competence is rare, and the cost of failure is felt in every bureaucratic humiliation.
