(TV SERIES) Ponies Season 1 - A Fun Enough Series of Normal Women Becoming Secret Agents During Cold War

 

This brand new series was made available on HBO Max I think on 15 January, though I only started watching two days ago and finished it last night. It had a very interesting premise that made me wanted to give it a try immediately. Without further ado, here's more on the series.

Brief Story Line

Story was set in the year 1977 in Moscow, Russia during the peak of cold war where CIA and KGB were fighting against each other through various espionage means. Beatrice Grant (Emilia Clarke - Secret Invasion mini series, Me Before You etc) and Twila Hasbeck (Haley Lu Richardson - Five Feet Apart, The White Lotus season 2 etc) were wives of CIA agents who posed themselves as secretaries in the US Embassy. However their lives completely changed when both their husbands were killed in suspicious circumstances and Bea & Twila insisted to find out what actually happened.

GUARDIANS - A Russian Version of Superheroes Movie

Yesterday, this movie premiered for the first time in Indonesia. My wife and I were not too enthusiastic in watching it as it did not seem to be a very interesting movie. But since her plan of going out in the morning was cancelled and she would be free till 2PM, we decided to watch the movie at 11.45AM. So let us get on with the movie.

Brief Story Line

August Kuratov (Stanislas Shirin) was a mad scientist who created superhuman by altering DNA during the World War 2 period. When the Russian government found out about his intention of creating a clone army of super humans and also having equipment attached to his body which enhanced his power and strength, they had to do something to capture him.

Major Elena (Valeria Shkirando) was tasked by Major General Nikolai (Vyacheslav Razbegaev) to head the "Patriot" organization which would be to recruit the superhumans created earlier. They had all hid themselves for many years and therefore, Elena must find out the locations of all these people urgently.
