PONIES on Peacock — Cold War Conspiracy, Emilia Clarke, Haley Lu Richardson a Review

In 1977 Moscow, two American embassy secretaries become unlikely CIA operatives after their husbands are killed — uncovering a Cold War conspiracy that changes everything. Michael and Diane break down Peacock’s PONIES, created by Susanna Fogel and David Iserson and starring Emilia Clarke, Haley Lu Richardson, and Adrian Lester. They explore the world-building, the characters, the spycraft, and why this story of “persons of no interest” feels so relevant today.

We break down: • The world of 1970s Moscow • Bea & Twila’s dynamic (Emilia Clarke + Haley Lu Richardson) • The conspiracy behind their husbands’ deaths • Spycraft, tension, and dark humor • Why PONIES feels so relevant today • What we hope to see in future seasons
