The show follows a cohort of young adult athletes at the fictitious Pirineos Center of High Performance.
Its synopsis is as follows: "When a swimmer collapses at a high-performance sports center, Amaia investigates the extreme risks her fellow athletes are taking to feed their ambition."
However, some fans have hit out at its racy scenes - taking to X to share their thoughts.
One wrote on X: "Episode 1 of #OlympoNetflix and everyone is just f*****g."
Another added: "I was interested in watching #OlympoNetflix, but I've seen GIFs and it looks a bit too much for me.
"Sex scenes make me kinda uncomfortable and what I've seen seems way too intense for me."
Meanwhile, Philadelphia Gay News argued: "Some scenes shot in slow-motion or in closeup fetishize the musculature of the actors."
Created by Jan Matheu, Laia Foguet, and Ibai Abad, the show launched on June 20.
It depicts the students at the Pirineos Center of High Performance competing for prestigious sponsorship from Olympo - a global fashion brand.
The cast includes Clara Galle, Nira Oshaia and former Rugby Union player Agustín Della Corte.
Conversely, other fans shared how much they enjoyed the eight-part drama.
One remarked: "Started Olympo on Netflix and omg I think this's gonna be my new obsession."
Another commented: "You better renew this I didn't waste my time for a cancellation."
A third simply stated: "WE WANT SEASON TWO."
While a fourth echoed: "Just Watched Olympo Spanish TV Show Season 1 On @Netflix. Loved It!
'The Show Is In English For You To Watch. Can't Wait To Watch Season 2!"

Rangers face Champions League exit after early collapse against Club Brugge
Rangers' horrendous start to their Champions League play-off against Club Brugge left them with a bruising 3-1 defeat at Ibrox and staring at the exit door. In a nightmare beginning to the first leg, Gers defender Nasser Djiga inexplicably allowed a long ball past him in the third minute and grateful visiting striker Romeo Vermant coolly lofted the ball over stranded goalkeeper Jack Butland. And further strikes from Jorne Spileers and Brandon Mechele had the visitors 3-0 up after just 20 minutes. Brazilian striker Danilo pulled a goal back four minutes after the break and the home side rallied, but the Belgian outfit stood firm. The return game against Nicky Hayen's men in Belgium next Wednesday will require a huge turnaround, albeit the Govan club are assured Europa League group phase football at least. Wins over Panathinaikos and Viktoria Plzen in previous qualifiers revealed flaws in Russell Martin 's new-look Gers side and raised concerns in the stands, as did back-to-back draws to start the Premiership campaign. And once again the former Southampton boss incurred the ire of the Light Blue legions. Martin made 10 changes for Saturday's 4-2 Premier Sports Cup victory over Alloa and seven for the visit of the Belgian outfit. The news that elicited the most surprise was that 19-year-old England youth international Jayden Meghoma, who signed on loan from Brentford on Sunday, went straight in at left-back with Max Aarons preferred to experienced club captain James Tavernier at right-back. Jack Butland, John Souttar, Mohamed Diomande, Oliver Antman, Djeidi Gassama, and Nicolas Raskin all returned. Greece international Christos Tzolis, who scored for Greece against Scotland at Hampden Park in March and who has been linked with a move to Crystal Palace, started for the visitors, while former Liverpool keeper Simon Mignolet was in goal. All eyes were on Meghoma, who spent last season on loan at Preston, and he started positively. But a horror mistake by Djiga allowed Tzolis' pass to give Vermant an easy finish which stunned everyone inside the ground. The Gers fans were coming to terms with the needless loss of a goal when Tzolis' corner from the right was knocked past Butland by the unmarked Spileers from 12 yards. The boos that rang round the ground intensified when Mechele, making his 500th appearance for Brugge, stepped all too easily in front of Danilo just outside the Rangers box and gave Butland no chance with an arrowed right-footed drive. A three-goal deficit at the break left the Gers support in a state of shock but they got a lifeline when Danilo slid in to convert an enticing cross from Meghoma. Gassama's angled-drive skipped inches past the far post before Mohamed Diomande and Danilo were replaced by Hamza Igamane and Thelo Aasgaard. Gassama had the ball in the Brugge net in the 78th minute but French referee Francois Letexier was asked by VAR to check his pitchside monitor and quickly decided that Mignolet had the ball in his hand before it was bundled into the net. The Light Blues' second-half display was heartening but it was a chastening first 20 minutes which keeps the spotlight on Martin.
