Promoted as a mystery, the show’s synopsis stated: “When a swimmer collapses at a high-performance sports center, Amaia investigates the extreme risks her fellow athletes are taking to fulfill their ambitions.”
However, while there was a mystery, it was the explicit nudity and sexual content that garnered attention.
Some viewers criticized its racy scenes on social media platforms.
One user commented on X: “Episode 1 of #OlympoNetflix and everyone is just having sex.”
Another added: “I was interested in watching #OlympoNetflix, but I’ve seen GIFs and it seems a bit too much for me.”
“Sex scenes make me somewhat uncomfortable, and what I’ve seen appears too intense for me.”
Additionally, critics condemned the show for “fetishizing” its cast, with Philadelphia Gay News reporting: “Some scenes shot in slow motion or close-up fetishize the muscularity of the actors.”
Despite the backlash, the show performed well, surpassing other Spanish original dramas on the streaming platform, and it was anticipated to return for a second season.
However, that will not be the case – coming under fire for cancelling the show just a week after it ended another critically acclaimed series following backlash from the Trump administration.
One user remarked: “Oh my god, will they let literally anything have a season two?”
A second commented: “Boots and now Olympo?? @netflix, get your act together… quickly.”
Another added: “Olympo had a cast full of talented individuals and fully developed stories, which frustrates me so much; I need to know what happens between Zoe and Renata, both as a couple and individually.”
“At least provide us with some closure. Netflix is a mess.”
