Critic Reviews

The storyline concerning the company could have delved deeper into satire, but it's not as compelling as the admittedly very memorable youths. Still, this captivating, character-driven surprise is easily one of the most purely entertaining series of the summer so far.

The sex in Olympo is explicit and gorgeously lit. But the scenes are about more than sex for the sake of it. .... Roque, is openly gay, and becomes the talk of the training center when he comes out in a post-game press conference. The center’s handling of his sexuality and Roque’s struggle with his identity is one of the most compelling elements of the show.

Olympo needs to tighten up its plotting in order for it to be more than just scenes of perfect bodies in motion, whether that motion is athletic or sexual.
