Explicit new Netflix series Olympo shocks viewers
A steamy new Netflix drama series set in a sports academy is leaving viewers shocked with its frequent graphic sex scenes. Olympo is a Spanish drama series set at the fictional Pirineos Center of High Performance, an elite training school for the most promising young athletes in Spain. With an MA15+ rating for 'strong sex scenes,' there's not a whole lot of sport going on. Since the series dropped in full on the streamer on Friday, social media has lit up with viewers either shocked or delighted that the show is so racy. 'Episode 1 of #OlympoNetflix and everyone is just f**king,' read one viewer's blunt tweet. Another complained the sex scenes were 'way too intense' for a teen drama (albeit one with a cast who are mostly well into their 20s). Others clearly embraced the raunch: Searching the #OlympoNetflix hashtag on X brings up dozens of clips of the show's most explicit scenes (click if you dare). While Olympo's racier aspects have been capturing viewer attention, critics have been less kind. Decider 's verdict was that prospective viewers should 'skip it,' writing that the show 'needs to tighten up its plotting in order for it to be more than just scenes of perfect bodies in motion, whether that motion is athletic or sexual.' LeisureByte 's reviewer dubbed the series 'a fast-paced watch with terrible characters,' complaining that 'not one of them is likeable or rational, which makes this a bit tedious. You want to find one person who is not completely morally bankrupt or stupid, but it's one or the other with this lot.' Philedelphia Gay News noted that while the focus is on the uniformly good-looking cast – 'scenes shot in slow-motion or in close-up fetishise the musculature of the actors' – it can't distract from the fact that 'the storylines are a bit thin.' The eight-part series builds to a dramatic climax, but viewers keen for more will have to wait – Netflix hasn't yet renewed Olympo for a second season.
