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.
