Olympo

Yes, this show is way over the top. Like ridiculously over the top. It is meant to be. That's what makes it a fun watch. It is in the same vein as Élite but it goes a more absurd route.

Lots of hot people, lots of sex (gay and hetero between women and between men), and some sports thrown in. There is a plot but it is a bit almost secondary to the spectacle.

Come for the fun, stay for the fun.

For some of the bad reviews, they just need to understand not every TV show is meant to or created to be the "best" TV show in history. Movies and TV have niches. People want to see different things. Enjoy the ride. Enjoy life.

The concept is very intriguing, but the execution (ie plot and script) were mid. I felt bad for the actors having to do so many sex scenes. It could be their first big show and they may have felt like they couldn't turn it down but it really is softcore porn at some point.

Also it felt like the show kept trying to frame Amaiia as the bad guy even though in my opinion she was the only one who made sense. The Olympo people could have been executed better, I feel like the power they had from the start wasn't shown properly, and once we got to the photoshoot scene, they seemed tacky. Also too many characters to keep track of in terms of storyline, felt a bit aimless tbh. Editing could be better.

DELIVERED. 'Olympo' completely blew me away. It dives into the brutal, beautiful world of elite sports-not just the obvious ones like rugby, cycling, or athletics, but also artistic swimming, which honestly deserves so much more respect. It's easily one of the hardest, most underrated sports out there, and I think this might be the first drama I've ever seen that puts it front and center. That alone makes it worth watching.

But it's not just about the sport. The show captured everything: the mental toll, the physical pain, the pressure from the outside world, and even worse-the pressure athletes put on themselves. It doesn't sugarcoat anything. You see the ugly side too: corrupt scouts, cheating, doping, the constant fear of not being enough. And the scary part? It all felt so real.

When Amaia said, "Sport is dead," it hit. Because sometimes, it really does feel like that. The purity of competition? The love for the game? It gets lost in all the noise. And most people outside the sports world don't even realize how deep that rot goes.

But weirdly, this show made me fall in love with sports again. As an athlete, it reminded me of what's still worth fighting for, and for the first time in a while, I believe in the spirit of sport again.

The casting? Spot on. The acting? So real I forgot I was watching fiction. The story? I binged it in less than 24 hours. So yeah. Highly recommend. Whether you're a die-hard sports fan or just love good drama. Season 2 when?

I really liked Olympo. It's entertaining, mysterious, dramatic as hell, everything I love in a teen drama. The story is surprisingly good, with strong writing, impressive performances, and a plot that just keeps you watching. Honestly, I need season 2 now.

As for the characters, I genuinely liked them all. Each one adds something special to the story. But if I had to pick a favorite, it's 100% Roque. He's the only one I agree with completely. His story, his decisions, everything about him just works. Plus, let's be honest: the actor? Literal Greek god.

The aesthetic is so teen drama. Moody lighting, stylish outfits, lots of tension and close-ups, I ate it up. Sure, there were a few slower parts, but nothing that ruined the experience. The show keeps you engaged almost the whole time.

I wouldn't say Olympo is the most original thing ever, it gave me vague Elite vibes at times, but it doesn't matter. It does what it sets out to do, and it does it well. Drama? Check. Secrets? Check. Fights, sex, betrayal, near-death moments, and jaw-dropping twists? Check, check, check.

Final verdict: a solid 8/10. If you're into teen dramas with suspense, wild plot twists and lots of messy relationships, Olympo is a must-watch.

Pretty much all that I saw from the critics is what It made the series compelling for me (also the good suspense): All the main characters have flaws, are not perfect (on different ways and degrees). If thats what makes them unlikeable for some, for me thats what makes them interesting. I dont want watch a boring story with villains and heroes ir one dimentional characters. Same goes for the "graphic" sex scenes... They are sexy and such as not perfect people, guess what, It happens in life! Also they were used to show how some of those relationships were connected. Apart from some stretch moments in the plot, a really good séries. Amalia character in particular, shows so many layers, till the very end.
