And how it completely slipped under the radar. The marketing? A total mess.

In Spain (and most Spanish-speaking countries), people didn’t even give it a fair chance. Because, of course, it carries that label — “from the creators of Elite.”

Teenagers. Sex. Drugs. Drama. Repeat. It’s been done to death. The audience is tired.

So everyone said: “no thanks, we’ve seen this before.” And that’s how Olympo was silently buried.

They didn’t even try to change that perception. That trailer — the infamous human pyramid — looked like a sexual metaphor, when the show actually has way less sex than people think. But once that clip dropped, the “Elite but with athletes” label stuck like glue.

Here’s the thing: Olympo isn’t perfect.

There are holes in the story, characters that deserved more depth (unless they were fan favorites), the doping plot barely gets attention, and the mystery of what Olympo really is never fully unfolds.

But — it’s entertaining.

It keeps you watching.

You want to know what happens next.

It just needed time. Breathing room. Eight episodes. Forty-five minutes each. Netflix really didn’t give it enough space to shine, Everything feels rushed, with 10 episodes and fifty-minute chapters some things would have made sense.

And now… renewal? Probably not happening. The cast trained for months — actual physical prep — and most of them have moved on. If it does get renewed, we might not see it before mid-2027. Which is such a shame, cause beneath the weak marketing and unfair comparisons,.there’s something good in there. Something raw, ambitious, and genuinely human.It just needs a second chance — and a better team behind it.

We deserve it, The cast deserves it

Renata Aguilera

Renata Aguilera is a supporting character from Olympo! She is canonically WLW and intersex, and heavily implied to be lesbian. She also used to have feelings for Zoe Moral.

“A few months ago, i broke a record. Then i tested positive for doping. For testosterone. I was over the allowed limit for females in the sport. So… they told me to do a DNA test and… and surprise. I’m intersex. I have internal male genitalia. Hidden away. But not on the outside. As you can see…”

Olympo

Una serie de bajo rendimiento.

Por mgarsos

Aunque huye de la sombra de Élite como si del mismísimo demonio se tratase, esta la alcanza de pleno. Por si fuera poco, este nuevo drama adolescente llega con muchas más carencias de las esperadas.

Una historia demasiado trillada y plana, unas tramas insulsas y previsibles en su mayoría, unos personajes estereotipados que son puro cliché y una narrativa pobre llena de agujeros, es lo que ofrece por el momento.

Entre su reparto hay muy pocos nombres que destacar. Clara Galle muy decente aunque no sobresaliente. Fanny Gautier nos enseña una vez más que la experiencia es un grado. Nos sorprende gratamente la evolución de Andy Duato desde HIT y el buen hacer de María Romanillos. Caben menciones especiales para Agustín Della Corte y Juan Perales.

Visualmente deja mucho que desear. Aunque tanto su fotografía, como su diseño de producción están dentro de la corrección, se nota que es un producto de consumo rápido en el que los fallos, el caos o la cutrez, aunque sean fácilmente detectables, se convierten en algo secundario.

El sonido es bastante mejorable y la música prácticamente pasa desapercibida.

Olympo, es quizá un nombre demasiado pretencioso para una serie tan deficiente. Un drama que, aunque intenten evitarlo por todos los medios, nos recuerda a Élite, pero en sus horas bajas. Una serie que, aunque cutre, entretiene lo justo para no dejarla a medias. En definitiva, una ficción que va a tener que entrenar mucho si quiere alcanzar la excelencia en su siguiente temporada.
