Netflix viewers have been left reeling by a sizzling new sports drama that has landed on the streamer.
Olympo is a Spanish-language show starring Clara Galle, Nira Osahia, Agustín Della Corte which focuses on the Pirineos High Performance Centre which trains young athletes for potential Olympic glory.
When a swimmer collapses at the HPC, Amaia Olaberria (Galle) begins investigating the extreme risks her fellow competitors take to chase their dreams.
All eight episodes of the show have arrived on Netflix, so you can escape the weekend heat for a few hours to catch up.
It has been described as ‘unexpected and highly bingeable’ as well as ‘so hot’ thanks to its intimate scenes.

Olympo has also been praised for its LGBTQ+ storylines, with SteMelMan writing on Reddit: ‘And people wonder why I love Netflix so much! I love how they generally include gay storylines in most of their productions.’
BringAltoidSousBack added: ‘Spain really does make the best “teen drama” shows. I also love that no one on those shows looks like a teenager (a point they made fun of in the final season of elite).’
It comes after another Spanish title based on a spine-chilling true story caused waves on Netflix.
A Widow’s Game was released on the streaming platform in May and quickly made its way to the top of the movie charts in the UK.
The Spanish-language thriller, starring Ivana Baquero, Tristán Ulloa, and Carmen Machi, follows the investigation into the slaying of engineer Antonio Navarro Cerdán (Álex Gadea).
As police dig further into the matter, led by veteran homicide detective Eva (Machi), his widow’s perfect façade is shattered, exposing a hidden double life.
A month prior, Spanish series The Gardener also shot up the Netflix charts.
Created by Miguel Sáez Carral, The Gardener follows a gardener named Elmer (Álvaro Rico), but he is not your typical horticulturalist.
Elmer isn’t your typical horticulturist, though. He’s actually a deadly assassin, with less of a green thumb and more of a red one.
Under the strict guidance of his controlling mother, La China Jurado (Cecilia Suárez), the pair run a successful garden centre and murder-for-hire business.
