Netflix viewers are loving the new eight-part sports drama, Olympo, with some binge-watching the entire series in one sitting.
The Spanish teen drama, which arrived on the streaming platform in June, delves into the emotional, sporting, and life adventures of a group of elite young athletes training at the fictional Pirineos High Performance Center, testing how far they're willing to go to achieve their goals.
It's safe to say the drama has gone down well with viewers, with many calling for a second season.
