Release

Reception

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 94% of 33 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 7.7/10. The website's consensus reads: "As much a buddy adventure as it is an espionage caper, Ponies' likable trot of a story gradually achieves full gallop thanks to Emilia Clarke and Haley Lu Richardson's tag-team charisma." Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the series a score of 76 out of 100, based on 12 critics, indicating "generally favorable" reviews. Vulture praised Clarke and Richardson's on-screen chemistry and how the series allows them to "put a spin on the types you may already associate with them" such as Daenerys Targaryen in Game of Thrones and Portia in The White Lotus. Likewise, Variety calls Clarke and Richardson's chemistry the "glue that binds the whole enterprise together".

In a more mixed review, Rendy Jones of RogerEbert.com noted that the series is overly reliant on late-’70s music to maintain the viewers’ attention, its spy narrative is overfamiliar, and 1970s pastiche does not always work. Angie Han of The Hollywood Reporter concluded that while Ponies "throws everything it can at the wall in search of excitement and sweetness and humor and tragedy" to have "moments of dazzle", ultimately the show's lack of depth, imprecise writing and consequently, unconvincing performances, make it a "forgettable distraction".
