TV review: Cutesy American humour makes Ponies a show suited to summer sunshine

I was surprised by Ponies, I definitely like it, but don't get too excited

Ponies is available on NOW TV

Ponies (NOW) isn’t what I thought it was going to be. But I like it.

I thought the story of two American spies in 1970s Moscow would be grey raincoated men on park benches saying ‘the moon is high tonight’ to each other. There is a bit of that at the start, but the two CIA agents involved end up dead in an air crash so the action switches to their widows. You read that right.
