Cleopatra 2525 was on the air for two seasons from 2000 until 2001.
Set in the year- you guessed it!- 2525. A young stripper named Cleopatra (Jennifer Sky) is awoken from a 500 year cryogenic sleep after going in for a routine breast enlargement in the year 2001. She is shocked to discover that the human race is now ruled over by machines, and is taken under the wing of two warriors from the human resistance- Helen ‘Hel’ Carter (Gina Torres) and Rose a.k.a. “Sarge” (Canadian actress Victoria Pratt).
These machines, known as the “Baileys,” rule the surface world while humanity lives like rats in a labyrinth of underground tunnels. Also hunting them are Betrayers- robots built to look like organic humans, their bodies able to morph into an expansive array of weapons (gun arms and the like). There are also a wide variety of mutants among the human resistance, most likely from whatever drove the humans underground in the first place.
A disembodied female voice (Elizabeth Hawthorne) simply (and aptly) known as The Voice gives these futuristic female freedom fighters their orders.
While Sarge and Hel are seasoned warriors, it seems Cleo’s greatest skill is . . .
