==Plot==
The story for the live-action series appears to be very faithful to the comic book series. It follows Cybersix, a genetically-engineered super soldier, designated 6th in the Cyber Series, who at a young age was able to escape the massacre of her brothers and sisters, ordered by her evil creator, Doctor Von Reichter. She runs away to the city of Meridiana where she lives a double life, hiding as a high school literature teacher, while as her superhero counterpart, fighting against Von Reichter and the creations he sends to destroy her.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/19980626060728/http://www.telefeinternational.com/english/programas/series/cybersix/index.html An archived website containing information for the series.] Retrieved 10 Dec '17</ref>

==Availability==
‘Un Secuestro en Meridiana’, which is believed to be the first episode, remained the only available episode for some time.

However, In 2020, the YouTube user TODO PARA VER uploaded a recording of the episode ‘Fratello Pippo’, albeit containing some faulty audio and being incomplete at only 28 minutes. YouTube user Keshiaim translated both of these episodes into English and uploaded them onto YouTube with optional English subtitles. Then in 2023, YouTube user augaki1 uploaded the episode ‘Doble de Cuerpo’, claiming it to be the last episode of the series.

On March 17th, 2024, Reddit user MagentaHamster announced on the Cybersix subreddit that seven episodes of the live-action series have been found. MagentaHamster said that Miguel Randolfe on the Argentinian website clan-sudamerica had recorded all the episodes from Telefe and digitized them, putting them on Google Drive. However, they also stated that parts of these episodes aren't complete, such as episode 4 missing its final scene. They also said that it is not certain if there was seven or eight episodes in total so its uncertain if the episodes are found or missing one episode.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/Cybersix/comments/1bh2if3/the_live_action_cybersix_have_been_found/ Reddit post announcing episodes found]</ref>
