Still can't get over Olympo? Hop on to these 5 shows next and you wouldn't regret it

Netflix's Spanish sports drama, Olympo, dropped on June 20, 2025, and since its release, it has created a steady buzz among viewers. While it has received mixed reviews, the show's one-of-a-kind portrayal of the mental and physical difficulties of young athletes has been appreciated by the viewers.

Set in a high-performance Olympic training center tucked away in the Pyrenees, this Spanish series dives deep into the world of elite teenage athletes, blurring the lines between ambition and systemic corruption. There's s*x, sabotage, a queer plot, performance-enhancing drugs, and, most importantly, a climax that left us wanting for more.

At the center of the series is Amaia, a talented athlete and the leader of the synchronized swimming team. Things change when she realizes her closest mate, Nuria, is using a performance-enhancing drug for her performance. As soon as she starts her investigation, she uncovers a web of doping scandals that can tarnish the reputation of the training center. However, when she fails to prove the same to the anti-doping authorities, she is shamed for backing off from the game by her mother.

At the end of the season, Amaia falls into the trap of the thing she has stood against the entire season- Yes, she takes the drug to ace a difficult stunt. However, in the closing scenes of the drama, we see Amaia collapse as a side effect of the drug.
