    It's the year 2525. The earth's surface has been taken over by machines called Baileys. Mankind has been driven underground. Hel (Gina Torres) and Sarge (Victoria Pratt) fight the Baileys under the directions of the mysterious Voice. They barely survive their comrade who turned out to be a Betrayer robot. At a mutant medical shop, they save Cleopatra (Jennifer Sky) who is a stripper cryogenically frozen in 2001 after a botched boob job. With their reprogrammed Betrayer named Mauser, they survive the labyrithium underground world of mutants and dangers like Joker-esque villain Creegan while fighting against the machines up above.This is a campy sci-fi TV. The premise has good potential with a dose of Terminator along with some wackier sci-fi. The execution is campy with scattered humor. Jennifer Sky tries her best to be fun with pop culture references. She ends up with a lot of squealing. Victoria Pratt is all about her abs. Gina Torres is solid. The half-hour format allows the shows to be a quick flashy action meal and the hour-long episodes do drag a little. Overall, this is stripper-tastic but it's by no means good. The sexy trio does keep one's attention and that reworked 2525 theme song is hella catchy.

    Hello, again. This is Ruth and Son Michael Reiter. My son used to read Magnus, Robot Fighter when he was a little boy. While Cleopatra is a gothic scream princess/victim, she has a few guts. He has seen the first season here in Saskatoon, and would like to continue seeing it.(the second season.) We have tried everthing, but not on line petitioning. As cheesy as Magnus Robot Fighter was, Cleopatra 2525 is as cheesy and at that, right endearing. Thanks for listening...

    ya know the concept of "guilty pleasures"? yeah, you have 'em, like admitting you watched - and enjoyed - goonies, battlestar galactica AFTER they reached earth, v the series, charlie's angels, starsky & hutch, the 1950s version of superman, or godzilla movies.here's the ultimate in guilty pleasures. coupled with jack of all trades in a sam raimi action packed hour, this half hour slot is fast paced, easy to follow, and loaded with fun-to-watch scanlity-clad babes.the man that brought us evil dead, xena, hercules, and the adventures of brisco county jr does it again with this 2000 update of charlies angels. we got charlie (voice) an unknown being that has the knowlege and the time to find people who need help, bosley (mouser) the gadget man, and three gorgeous babes that kick a** for a living.and oh what a living!

    "Cleopatra 2525" is not the most intelligent sci-fi show, and would never win an Emmy, but it's still enjoyable enough to watch when nothing else is on. It's nowhere as stupid as "V.I.P." (with its Baywatch-esque montage sequences), and the characters are intentionally tongue-in-cheek without being too ridiculous or unbelievable."Star Trek" and "X-Files" it ain't but that's okay..."Cleopatra 2525" supposed to be mindless fun. Plus, what's wrong with having a bunch of strong, gorgeous females (except for Jennifer Sky, who's hillarious in the lead role) running around blowing up evil cyborgs?I get the impression that some of the people who hate this show (as well as "Xena" or "Hercules") also enjoy watching campy, nonsensical excrement like "Lexx: The Series". At least "Cleopatra" has stories that most people can understand and/or enjoy!
