The Inside is an American crime drama television series created by Tim Minear and Howard Gordon and produced by Imagine Television. The Inside follows the work of the FBI's Los Angeles Violent Crimes Unit, a division dedicated to investigating particularly dangerous crimes. The Inside initially aired on the Fox Network from June 8 to July 13, 2005. Although thirteen episodes were produced, Fox aired only seven episodes before canceling the series. All thirteen episodes were subsequently aired on Britain's ITV4 in 2006.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Created by Tim Minear and Howard Gordon during their post-Angel/Firefly and pre-24 trauma, with Rachel Nichols cast specifically because her previous work showed she could sell 'damaged without asking for sympathy.'
The thirteen-episode structure was designed for cable, but Fox treated it like episodic procedural—audiences expecting CSI got psychological horror instead, and ratings collapsed immediately.
