Extremely minor damage to packaging- probably the same amount if I was the original owner. Discs are in remarkable shape- no scratches. I have yet to find time to sit and watch them, but am not anticipating any problems. Thank you for having them. I used to watch this show on Saturday afternoons and when I saw it was available on DVD, I had to add it to my slightly out of control DVD collection. (over 1000).

The show is a classic rare GEM!!!!! Sci-Fi GRRRRRRRLLLLL Power with AfroCentric Lead. If you LOVED Xena Warrior Princess, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Dollhouse, ALIAS and anything starring PAM GRIER; THIS is for you! It's like a cool Saturday Morning style show with the heart & earnest "camp" of the ORIGINAL Star Trek but sexier and cooler. Discs are clean, sound is crisp, visuals are bright & clear. Box is immaculate. Price was a STEAL. S&H was standard, using good old U.S. postal snail mail and it arrived in a flash. So very very HAPPY. Thank You. Nobody is streaming this or selling this. You Rock!

I purchased this DVD set solely because it starred Gina Torres after reading comments about it on a Firefly fan website. I was pleasantly surprised that it was not nearly as campy as I expected (especially considering the premise-“stripper seeking boob job goes under anesthesia and wakes up 500 in the future” 😂). Not surprisingly Gina’s acting is so natural. She neither overacts nor underacts, so you feel comfortable with her immediately. The only main character that ever overacts is the one who plays Cleopatra, but in my mind she’s not really the star of the show, so I can put up with it by concentrating on Gina, who plays Hel, and Victoria Pratt, who plays Sarge. Some different story lines involving aliens that take a human and use them to make a duplicate killer robot that has your memories, emotions, etc. If you’re really into special effects, then you’ll be disappointed in this, but other than that I would say it is definitely a sci-fi series worth watching.

I don't personal remember them on TV but those old serial shows with a cliffhanger at the end of each segment. This was one segment of a syndicated show. It reminds me of Buffy because it has young beautiful woman trying to save the world. As the title suggest this is set in the distant future on Earth with most of humanity living underground hiding from the alien machines know as Baileys. Cleopatra is a young woman from our time that died on operating table during breast implant surgery. She wakes up just before her organ were to be harvested. The other two attractive women of the show decide to rescue her from this fate. She tends to be more trouble than she is worth but she does have one talent an ability to mimic voices. The plots are over the top but it is very campy. Most of the clothing in the future is very revealing. I did get pulled into watching the whole series. This is not the best show but it does have flair.Read full review
In the future, (year 2525), the year this is set in. A group of underground humans is trying to save themselves from robots that have taken over earth's surface. The short lived series episode one starts when the title charactor known as Cleo is awoken from an induced slumber. Supossedly she was put into cryogenic sleep because of an operation gone bad back in the past. Why she woke up fine and in perfect health is a mystery, but, so is everything else in this awkward, offbeat, futuristic comedy/drama. The rest of the series is sorta clever, pretty predictible, and kinda enjoyably anoying. The episodes were 1/2 hour long and too much was cramped into that short 1/2 hour, (about 23 mins ea.) It's as if it were originally an hour episode and all but the most un-important parts were cut out. It's empty as far as charactor building goes and tries hard to be slick, fast paced, and sexy. What happens is an uneven storyline and too many loose ends. Reminds one of the 1960's Batman series. You either love it or you hate it. No middle road here.Read full review
After watching Gina Torres in the superb "Firefly" series, I wanted to see some of her other work. On a whim I picked up "Cleopatra 2525." This is a series straight from the "Hercules" and "Xena" mold. Each episode is moderately entertaining. You never get emotionally attached to any character, but the schtick of inserting a 21st century girl into the exotic life of a 26th century renegade is especially entertaining since the heroine is an (drumroll please) exotic dancer. Not a scientist, not an athlete, not a warrior, no, a stripper has been chosen to be a freedom fighter. Cute concept with any number of dangling plot lines possible. The title song is a mockup of the classic Zager and Evans song "In the Year 2525. If you want depth of soul, character development, and arcing plot lines, don't bother. But, if you are looking to waste a half hour, like pretty women, explosions, and your TV with extra schlock, this is THE series for you.Read full review
Being a Senior I love to watch science fiction with bunches of special effect action.With 3 Hot Ladies in the lead to keep my attention.Allot of the special effects look real. Watching these dvd's keeps me from falling asleep after a long day of ???.

I bought this series because it was a good solid show. For me it was a bit of a had to watch because the kids like the good girls fighting against the bad guys. I watch many of the shows that the kids like and i was not happy at first, well that is after i got past the pretty girls on the show. Then i said hey this is pretty interesting. There was some actual story behind the tight fitting cloths. There was some cool sci-fi during the series which includes the special effects. Another thing that i was surprised about was the actor, solid acting and i have seen many of the shows stars in plenty of other movies. Sci-fi people jump from show to show especially when they are actually good at what they do. So overall this was a good and enyoyable show which i was sad to see go away. Definitly worth watchingRead full review
Something we are missing in todays shows..Cleo 2525 was my second fav. show on tv, XWP was my first..I loved this show from beginning to end..I could have done without Cleos constant screaming..Jennifer Skye (Amarice on Xena) as Cleo did kinda grate on my nerves..I loved Victoria Pratt (Cyanne On Xena) as Sarge funny, sexy, smart and what a bod..and of course who can forget the beautiful Gina Torres (Cleopatra on Xena) as Hel..This show focused on three Women two born in the future and one frozen then thawed in the year 2525..the world has been taken over by robots called Baileys they have taken over the world and driven humans underground..Sarge, Hel and Cleo must fight to save mankind..Fans will laugh cry and gasp at the special affects, the fight scenes and the sheer fun of this terrific series..imho it ended far too soon..Read full review
This show was one of my favorite growing up. Three women who kick butt while trying to stay fashionable in their time. Cheesy jokes. This show has it all, as well as the lovely Gina Torres, and Victoria Pratt.
