Overview
- All eight episodes stream on Peacock starting Jan. 15, with advance screeners provided for full-season reviews.
- Set in 1977 Moscow, the series follows two American Embassy secretaries who become CIA operatives after their husbands’ deaths, riffing on “persons of no interest.”
- Emilia Clarke and Haley Lu Richardson star as Bea and Twila, with supporting turns from Adrian Lester, Artjom Gilz, Nicholas Podany, Petro Ninovskyi, Vic Michaelis, and Harriet Walter.
- Reviewers describe a playful, character-forward spy tale that lands closer to The Americans meets Burn Notice than to darker espionage dramas.
- Production emphasizes 1970s detail, including a 3:2 aspect ratio and Budapest locations standing in for Moscow, while early notices are generally positive with some mixed critiques.
