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 (VCU), 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 and will begin airing in Fall 2007 on CBC Country Canada.

In this psychological thriller, rookie FBI Agent Rebecca Locke (Rachel Nichols) joins the Bureau's Los Angeles Violent Crimes Unit, unaware that she's been hand-picked for the dangerous job by its imposing leader, Supervisory Special Agent Virgil "Web" Webster (Peter Coyote). Web is among the few who know that Rebecca was abducted and held captive as a young girl, a traumatic experience that affords her a unique insight into the mindset of villain and victim alike.
