Crime Traveller
1997 · TV series · 50 min episodes · 1 season
Created by Anthony Horowitz
Detective Jeff Slade teams up with scientist Holly Turner, whose late father has created a time machine that can travel back several hours. Together they solve mysteries using the device. In the beginning of episodes (before they travel back in time), things happen because they DID travel back in time, and they are constantly working to avoid paradoxes. This approach to time-travel is unusual in sci-fi movies, and keeps the plot twisted.

I remember being impressed with how rigidly the 90s show 'Crime Traveller' stuck to the rules it outlined of time travel.
Aside from that, it wasn't a great show (only 1 series made) and watching the first episode[1] back I can safely say it's not aged well either.
But it's one show that has always stuck in my memory for when the writers actually took the theory of time travel seriously.
