I may have watched a few episodes of this, but I don't have clear memories of it. But it has an interesting premise. Here's what Wikipedia says about it.
__________________________________
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.
In the year 2193, over a hundred criminals become fugitives of law enforcement by traveling back in time two hundred years, using a time machine called Trax.
Darien Lambert (Dale Midkiff) is a police detective of that period who is sent back to 1993 in order to apprehend as many of the fugitives as possible.
He is assisted by the Specified Encapsulated Limitless Memory Archive, or SELMA (Elizabeth Alexander), an extremely small but very powerful computer (described as equivalent to a mainframe) disguised for the mission as a credit card. He communicates with it through a holographic interface which takes the visual form of a prim young woman.

________________________________
IMDB has 6 trivia items for this movie. Here’s a few of the ones I found the most interesting, in the blue text.
________________________________
~ The patch on the back of Lambert's A-2 jacket is the Flying Tigers blood chit. These patches were issued to US pilots flying in China during WWII so they could be returned safely by Chinese people (most of whom didn't speak English) to US air bases in China, thus saving many lives.
Note from me: Truth is stranger than fiction. Sometimes it's even nstranger than science fiction!
~ The last series to premiere under the Lorimar Productions name.
Note from me: Ah yes . . . how well we all remember those Lorimar logos at the end of so many great series.
~ Time Trax was one of the first shows broadcast by a new network, UPN.
Note from me: UPN seemed destined to thrive after it's launch in January 16, 1995, but it was closed down in January 24, 2006.
We live in a very uncertain world . . . . _________________ ____________
