With very little field experience, rookie F.B.I. Agent Rebecca Locke will become part of a sinister and unsavory world when she is recruited to join the Bureau’s Los Angeles Violent Crimes Unit as a new profiler. A special division headed by Supervisory Special Agent Virgil “Web” Webster that is devoted to investigating the darkest and most heinous crimes committed by human beings.

Unbeknownst to Locke, her traumatic past that she has struggled to bury and keep hidden from others is the sole reason why Web has recruited her. That what had tormented Rebecca so long ago will give her a unique insight and place her in a specific mindset to help her tackle these cases. This is also the case with her new colleagues as Web also knows each of their past histories and secrets. It remains unclear the lengths that Web is willing to go with his agents in order to successfully solve a crime.less «

  I can't find this show anywhere!!! I'm Australian, and it was either not on TV here or I missed it, and a big fan of Minear. Anyone know where I can get my hands on the series?

  Wow. I was completely blown away by The Inside. I am a crime drama junkie but I tend to find them all the same, The Inside was completely new and refreshing. The storylines were so interesting and nail-biting if not a little inneccesarily gory. There were so many unexpected twists, especially about Rebecca's abduction and "Pony Man". I am still bitter about the cancellation. TV has gone down the toilet, cancelling great shows for mediocre ones which involve a) pretty young people b) gore & violence & c) generic writing & storylines or godawful reality TV. How did Fox even expect it to get good ratings or a fanbase when it premiered in the goddamn summer! Anyone with a life is going to be out with their friends or on vacation. And the promotion for it was awful, it barely got any so no one knew it existed! It saddens me how a cheap, way less interesting or unique version of this show Criminal Minds has gotten renewed for like 3 seasons. JJ & Emily Prentiss cannot hold a candle to the awesomeness of Rebecca Locke just like Jason Gideon can't touch Virgil Webster. The twists in The Inside were soooo much more interesting. And CSI: Miami is absolute trash that's so poorly written it's unbelievable and it's managed to go on for like 6 seasons. I wish this was on CBS or at least aired in the fall on Fox, it would have been a huge hit. I can't believe Fox didn't even do so much as put it on DVD like they did with the short-lived show Point Pleasant, I'd be first in line to buy it! Does anyone else agree? less «

  I was browsing IMDB one day, and found a project in development called "The Inside"2008(TV). Don't wanna get my hope up but, you know, still a little intrigued. It's frustrating I only have a free account there and couldn't get detail information about the project. So, does anyone know if it is the same show we talk about here or it's just a totally different one with the same name? less «

  A movie unique for a crime drama Probably one of the best i have seen so far.. hide « show »

  I have seen many movies involving crimes, and i have noticed that these movies are quite similar, and i can`t find anything inspiring and unique in them, but this one is really special. I haven`t seen anything like it before. The dark, grotesque atmosphere really makes this movie special and brings you inside the twisted world of serial killers.This movie is something different from the usual crime investigating seen in such other movies, it`s a real masterpiece, really inspiring. When i watch it i feel like i`m experiencing a dark dream, like i`m swimming in a deep ocean of sinister thoughts that slither in our heads at night. I had the similar feeling when i watched the movie "Sphere".It`s really special. I suppose that the creator of the movie is a genius, a psychopath himself. I haven`t seen anyone else understanding better the world of sociopaths. The creator really thinks like a sociopath. I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to know more about the world of killers, and for anyone who`s looking for unique ideas and has a touch with the darkness. This movie will introduce psychos of all gender and age, and lead you deeper into their world, into their minds.

  6.5 Fair

  Disappointing addition to a pretty full field. hide « show »

  I am a fan of crime dramas, but found The Inside extremely disappointing. To be fair, I may be spoiled by Criminal Minds, but stacked up next to the latter, I found The Inside shallow and unsophisticated, with uninteresting characters and boring cases. Actual profiling is usually nonexistent and when present at all mostly meaningless nonsense. Even worse, especially for a crime drama, I found outcomes extremely predictable (maybe because of my "training" from Criminal Minds.
  
  If you enjoyed The Inside at all, I strongly recommend you try out Criminal Minds. Even with the recent departure of Mandy Patinkin, it has far more to offer than The Inside.

  It was too young to die hide « show »

  This series, a kind of off-spring from the mother of the profiling-shows "Profiler" :-), had potential to take the genre to the next generation and I really looked forward to get to know the characters a little better every episode, but then: The end! The cases the team had to solve were dark, cool and very twisted. As in any good story about the psychology of the murderer and the murder the audience was drawn in to figure out the story behind the story, what made this series special was the terrible history of the new rookie profiler Rebecca Locke. From this experience derived her unique skill as a profiler and built the ground for the interaction with and development of the other characters, which was really great to watch. Especially in these episodes, where those elements were combined with the case their solving, the show wasn't just another one about a bunch of FBI-profilers trying to hunt down the evil-doers.
  It's just a great pity.

  A good show with great acting grounded without given a chance to take off. BRING IT BACK! hide « show »

  I was so upset when FOX first announced the cancellation of The Inside! This show had fantastic potential, but was never given a chance. I mean, how did the cancel-happy Fox expect it to become a huge hit when it aired in the summer and the dates kept on changing? The acting was well done and the storylines kept me coming back for more. There was something about The Inside which differentiated it from all the crime dramas on TV - it could have been the uniqueness of using profiling to catch a killer, the main character Rebecca's backstory as victim of random abduction as a child, it's goriness or how you won't guess the killers right off the bat. Sure, on the outside it looked similar to CSI, with the opening shots of the city, the grainy flashbacks, the gore...but it's so much more than that. The Inside focuses a lot more on using psychology to catch killers rather than science and technology as seen on CSI.
  
  I don't understand why Fox decided to air it at such a crappy time; it needed a second season to grow. The Inside had all the makings of a huge hit. Instead of canceling the show maybe they should have gotten a writers helper for some different storylines.The one episode that stands out in my mind was when the bureau all thought that the groundskeeper was responsible for the murder of an 8 year old boy, but it was really a ten year old psychopath who framed the groundskeeper.
  
  Rebecca Locke, the new FBI agent with "a gift, forged in pain" for profiling as Web put it, was my favorite character and the eye-catching beauty of the show. While she may seem cold and emotionally detached, it's for a good reason - Rebecca was abducted for a year and a half as a young girl, escaping from her abductor by starting a fire and leaving him for dead. Due to her kidnapping, Rebecca learned the cold hard reality of life and how to save herself, and that nobody was going to come to rescue her. Melody Sim and Danny Love add some dry humor to this dark, depressing, gruesome crime drama. Also, I noticed some good chemistry between Danny and Rebecca - I think the writers were setting up a little future romance there!
  
  It saddens me how a cheap rip-off like Criminal Minds can get renewed as well as complete crap like CSI: Miami is going onto it's sixth season, when all that show is, is style and no substance. Overall, spectacular show that truly transcends all other similar ones, including Criminal Minds, it's rip-off, in all aspects (acting, meaning, understandability, value). Such a shame it was canceled so early, but don't worry, this show already made a huge impression on me with only one season, in other words, half a season is enough to make an impressive statement in the world of crime and detective genres, to dictate its own sturdy and shining place in a world filled with crappy, time-wasting and mediocre shows.
  
  Damn the one who cut this show short (it better be because of budget problems), damn it if the reason the show was cut short was the viewers' preference because then these are just viewers who don't know how to appreciate a phenomenal show for crap!
  
  BRING THE INSIDE BACK!!!!!

  Such a good show... I want it back!! hide « show »

  I still don't know why they cancelled it... This was a very good show and it deserved a second chance.
  I watch a lot of shows, but only a few I consider really good and my favorites too. This was one of them.
  Some people say it was a little "dark", but I liked it this way.
  I loved the characters and I think the cases were pretty good.
  This wasn't all dark, we got our funny moments once is a while, specially with Danny and Melody.
  There might be people there that don't share my opinion, but I always thought that Rebecca and Paul could've been a cute couple. Too bad he was married and almost had a child.
  Such a good show... They should've given it another chance...
