Olympo

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.

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.

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.

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.
