Inside Man is a thought-provoking documentary series that was created by Morgan Spurlock, the same filmmaker who directed the popular film "Super Size Me." The show premiered on CNN in 2013 and ran for four seasons until 2016. Each episode of the show focuses on a different topic, ranging from religion to politics to sports, and dives deep into the inner workings of each subject.

One of the unique aspects of the show is its format. Rather than using a traditional documentary style, Spurlock appears on camera and interacts with people who are related to the topic at hand. He often goes undercover to get a closer look at the subject and engages in conversations with experts and everyday people. This approach makes the show feel more personal and allows viewers to see different perspectives on each topic.

One of the people Spurlock interacts with is Brian Walkingstick Burgess, a former Marine who serves as the show's security consultant. Burgess provides valuable insights on different situations, from how to protect a celebrity to how to handle a riot. His military background and experience in private security make him an excellent resource for Spurlock and the team.

Another key member of the crew is John W. Houghtaling, a prominent Louisiana attorney who is known for his work in the legal world. Houghtaling appears on several episodes, including those focused on guns and politics. He provides legal analysis and commentary that helps viewers understand the complex issues surrounding these topics.

The show's topics are diverse and cover a wide range of subjects that are relevant to modern society. For example, one episode focuses on the world of professional gaming and explores the lives of top players and the massive tournaments they compete in. Another episode takes viewers inside a maximum-security prison and shows what life is like for inmates and corrections officers.

One of the standout episodes of the series is "Furry Nation," which takes a look at the world of furry fandom. Spurlock meets with individuals who create elaborate animal costumes and attend conventions where they can express themselves freely. The episode also dives into the psychology behind the furry fandom and why people are drawn to this unique subculture.

The show is not afraid to tackle controversial subjects as well. One episode titled "The Enemy Within" explores the world of white nationalist groups and the impact they have on American politics. Spurlock meets with members of these groups and tries to understand their point of view while also exposing their hateful rhetoric.

Overall, Inside Man is a well-crafted documentary series that provides viewers with a unique look into various topics. Spurlock's approach feels fresh and his interactions with different people are engaging. Burgess and Houghtaling provide valuable insights that add depth to each episode. While the show is no longer on the air, it remains a fascinating and thought-provoking watch that is worth checking out.

Inside Man is a series that ran for 4 seasons (30 episodes) between June 23, 2013 and on CNN
