'Blackjack: Sweet Science' Australian TV murder mystery 2004

BLACK-JACK: SWEET SCIENCE from JIGSAW ENTERTAINMENT. There are seven TV movies surrounding police detective Jack Kempson (Colin Friels) in Australia. He was demoted down to entering cold cases into a computer database. This after testifying against corrupt police officers. Jack works in the basement with a female blonde colleague and they re-discover old homicides that could be solved.

This is an excellent premise that doesn't follow the CSI formula or the cliche "cold case" TV shows. Jack battles hardcore mysteries as well as his own police boss upstairs. It gives us good drama. I cannot find the TV movie pilot episode online. It is however, packaged with the DVD discs.

To my surprise -- I found Alex O'Loughlin (Hawaii Five-0) in "Blackjack: Sweet Science" as Luke Anderson. He is credited as Alex O'Lachlan though.

This second TV movie surrounds a present day bank truck robbery involving two brothers, Brad and Luke Anderson. Jack is a friend of their mom whose husband was gunned down at a 1992 football game. The husband's murder comes up while Jack enters it into the computer database. He fights his boss so that he can investigate..., 

Below is the YouTube link uploaded by a TV fan. It will play all 6-Parts after opening.
