What critics are saying about PONIES

Jessica is a journalist, editor, TCA critic, and multimedia storyteller with a decade of experience covering pop culture, film, TV, women's sports, lifestyle, and more. ... Ponies somehow finds a way to keep its pacing quick and its character studies deep, leaning on Booksmart writer Susanna Fogel ’s knack for absolutely nailing screwball female friendships to keep the focus where it matters: on two hopelessly in-over-their-heads besties now charged with saving the world.

The chemistry between the lead characters, but especially the scene stealing Twila, are the engine that drives the gripping spy series.
