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."

Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi welcome first child via adoption
'We are beyond excited to embark on this beautiful next chapter of parenthood in both peace and privacy,' the couple wrote in a social media statement. No further details were released. Brown, 21, and Bongiovi, 23, were married in a private ceremony in May 2024. Brown gained recognition for her starring role as Eleven in the Duffer brothers' sci-fi series Stranger Things. The fifth and final season will air this November and December, a culmination of nine years of the show's production. The British actor has pursued other acting and business ventures in that time, including the Netflix original Enola Holmes films and a Godzilla film. She even released a romance book in 2023. Bongiovi is the son of Jon Bon Jovi, founder and frontman of the rock band Bon Jovi. Bongiovi debuted his own acting career as the star in Rockbottom, which released last year. Brown stressed the importance of family during the 2024 premiere of her Netflix film Damsel, where Bongiovi and his parents were in attendance. 'I'm just so lucky that they're here tonight and it just means so much to me,' Brown told The Associated Press then. 'Family is everything and just to have my second family here means everything.' The couple lives in Georgia. She recently told the AP she enjoys living on a farm, largely disconnected from social media, while promoting her 2025 Netflix film The Electric State.

The Edinburgh TV Festival awards, held at the city's International Conference Centre and hosted by the comedian Nick Mohammed, also saw Netflix win streamer of the year. To add to their success, the platform's romance drama, Bridgerton, received TV moment of the year for a scene in series three, which sees a steamy moment between Nicola Coughlan's character, Penelope Featherington, and Luke Newton's Colin Bridgerton. Among the other award winners were Scottish star Jessica Gunning, who picked up best TV actor in a drama for her role playing Martha in stalking mini-series Baby Reindeer, and The Traitors host Claudia Winkleman, who received the award for best TV presenter in entertainment. Elsewhere, Prime Video comedy series Last One Laughing picked up the best entertainment series prize and Jack Rooke's Big Boys won best comedy series.

The Belfry brings out the best in Ryder Cup contenders on day one of Betfred British Masters

Everywhere you turn at The Belfry, it just reeks of the Ryder Cup and the prospect of playing in the event's 45th edition next month on US soil helped bring out the best in two English players in the first round of the Betfred British Masters hosted by Sir Nick Faldo. Matthew Fitzpatrick, who has already faced the Americans on three occasions in the transatlantic tussle, opened with a five-under-par 67 on the Brabazon Course, where four Ryder Cup contests have been played, while compatriot Matt Wallace, who is bidding to be a rookie at Bethpage Black, was equally pleased with his bogey-free 68. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Ryder Cup contender Matt Wallace of pictured during his strong start in the Betfred British Masters hosted by Sir Nick Faldo at The Belfry |On a day when South African Thomas Aitken, Austrian Mathias Schwab and China's Haotong Li set the pace in the $3.5 million event, Dane Rasmus Hojgaard, who needs to finish in a tie for 29th with one player or better to jump above Shane Lowry and secure the final automatic spot on Luke Donald's team, rose to the challenge as well as he signed for a 69. Add in Swede Alex Noren, one of the players who could throw a spanner in the works ahead of Donald announcing his six wildcards on Monday week, matching Wallace's first-day salvo and day one in the final event of a year-long qualifying campaign certainly didn't disappoint. 'I just want to play well and hopefully give Luke a bit of a headache,' said Wallace, who currently sits 11th, one spot better than Fitzpatrick, on the points list as he reflected on his day's work, having burst out of the blocks by making three straight birdies before adding another one at the fifth and then parring in from there. It is widely felt that Fitzpatrick, due partly to being a major winner but also down to rediscovering his form at just the right time earlier in the summer, will be among 11 of the 12 players from the 2023 triumphant team in Rome to make the team for the contest on Long Island. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Donald, though, insisted he is keeping an open mind and a big week here then another one next week in the Omega European Masters in Switzerland could certainly be huge in terms of Wallace's chances after he already suffered a bitter disappointment when being overlooked by Thomas Bjorn for one of his captain's picks for the 2018 match in France. 'Let's get to the back nine on Sunday and hopefully we will be in a strong position to contend for this championship,' replied the five-time DP World Tour winner and a PGA Tour victor as well to being asked about his mindset this week. 'I don't know what is needed and I don't think anyone knows what is needed for me to try and make the Ryder Cup, but that's still my goal.' Feeling the cold on a chilly morning in the Midlands, Matt Fitzpatrick tees off on the 11th hole at The Belfry |Playing in the morning, when it was much cooler, Fitzpatrick marked his first competitive round here with an effort that contained six birdies. 'Obviously a really good start. I played really solid and happy with it,' he declared. The Sheffield man, who landed his maiden DP World Tour win in this event at Woburn in 2015, insisted he doesn't feel any extra pressure this week due to the fascinating Ryder Cup sideshow. 'I think I've known Luke long enough for him to know how I am as a player and obviously my results in the summer have been good,' he said of an eye-catching run that included back-to-back joint-fourth finishes in the Genesis Scottish Open and The Open. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'I am trying to take this week as a week to enjoy myself and play the best as I can but not get worked up about hitting poor shots. For me, it is obviously a big week because of the Ryder Cup situation, but I am trying to manage my energy, which is the main thing, and I think, because of that, my expectations are lowered as well, which hopefully helps me in the long run.' Hojgaard, who could replace his twin brother Nicolai from that team two years ago, sits joint-11th after his first-day performance, which came on the back of a strong display on home soil in last week's Danish Golf Championship. Three more solid scores and he won't have to worry about his name being in the melting pot when the captain's picks are mulled over by Donald and his trusty assistants. Dane Rasmus Hojgaard of Denmark acknowledges the crowd during day one of the Betfred British Masters hosted by Sir Nick Faldo |'Yeah, it's a hell of a big goal of mine but, mostly, I am trying to do well in this tournament to see where that gets me,' said the 24-year-old after signing for four birdies and one bogey in the same group as Fitzpatrick and former Genesis Scottish Open champion Noren. 'Clearly, we all know what I need to do this week to get a spot on the team. But, for me, it is about trying to give myself a chance come Sunday. That's where my focus is and, if that happens, then great. If not, there is still a lot to fight for. Yeah, if that were to happen (winning here), that will do. It is a great position to be in. I am looking forward to the next few days and seeing if I can bring out some good golf.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad With his twin involved, Hojgaard watched the contest two years ago from inside the ropes riding in a buggy. 'It would be very, very cool,' he said of his chance of being the member of his family representing Europe on this occasion. 'Yeah, I was happy that I managed to see it up close and see what it was like. Even after seeing just a bit of it, it is something you want to be part of, so I am going to do everything I can.'
