Cleopatra 2525
A one-season TV series of 20+ half-hour episodes. In the year 2525, robots have taken over the surface of the earth, forcing humans underground. Two women warriors (Hel, played by Gina Torres, and Sarge) stumble upon Cleopatra, a woman who had been frozen cryogenically since 2001, and only recently revived. Celopatra had been a stripper who went in for a boob job.
The three women struggle against the evil robots ("baileys") and their human-disguised cyborgs, as well as bad humans and mutants. They take orders from a disembodied voice ("Voice"), the equivalent of a female Charlie (the voice from Charlie's Angels). They have a faithful servant, Mauser, who is a sexless robot.
