On Prime Time Entertainment Network
A mid-90s sci-fi procedural built on a high-concept premise—a cop chasing fugitives across time—that sustains itself through episodic case-of-the-week structure rather than serialized depth.
Time Trax is an American/Australian co-produced science fiction television series that first aired in 1993. A police officer, sent through time into the past, has to track down and return convicted criminals who have escaped prison in the future. This was the last new production from Lorimar Television.
