Ponies

A spy caper that plays like a buddy comedy, for viewers who want charm with a little menace instead of grim tradecraft. Emilia Clarke keeps Bea buttoned up while Haley Lu Richardson makes Twila loud and fearless. When a KGB officer corners Bea in a bar, Twila gets her out by setting the place on fire. Period pop songs keep the mood light.

The episodes tell one continuing story, and the first spends its time on setup before the pace picks up once the missions start.
