Olympo

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.

I started writing a review on this yesterday after watching only 3 episodes, but I ended up finishing all episodes and it kinda changed my mind (a bit).

Olympo is absolutely ridiculous. The plot makes about as much sense as putting ketchup on tiramisu (zero). Characters for about 90% of the 8 episodes are extremely unlikeable, except for maybe two of them. None of their actions, motives, reactions make any sense at all but I still found it entertaing.

I don't know if this will get picked up for a second season but if it does, I honestly can't wait to see the ridiculous "storylines" the characters will get in the future.

I really enjoyed Olympo - it was definitely entertaining, and the actors did an amazing job. I honestly don't understand the hate it's getting. Sure, it's not for everyone, but it's clearly targeted at a younger audience, and it delivers well for that demographic.

The story might seem simple now, but it feels like it's just getting started. I'm confident things will get much more complex in Season 2. It's obvious this first season focused more on setting the tone and characters rather than deep storytelling, which makes sense for a debut. Plus, considering Netflix is working to strengthen its Spanish productions, it makes sense they'd play it a bit safe at the start.

People really shouldn't compare this to Elite. Aside from both being Spanish-language series with some shared actors, the shows are completely different. Elite is a murder mystery, while Olympo is not - so the comparisons feel unfair.

If it gets renewed, I'll definitely be watching Season 2 right away. I really liked the series and I'm excited to see where it goes next.

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 dont get the hate. The start if it was kinda casual and was a bit standard but it had a real good plot you wouldnt think of. I think it was super catchy and had the vibes of the first seasons of elite. In the beginning you hate some characters and love them in the end or the other way around.

Also it was cool that many persons are like the main character and have there own bigger story. Also its nice to make up the mind of the people watching about some reallife problems or about problems in sports. Ofcourse its partly queer but this just shows the Sports

Lets hope netflix keeps it going.🙂 Cause i love it.
