About This Episode
What is this episode about?
The episode "Angels and outlaws: Trailer" from Gangster introduces an upcoming series, Angels and Outlaws, which explores the world of biker gangs. Groups like the Hell's Angels first took shape in the USA before spreading globally, becoming international movements. Members often describe themselves as outcasts from mainstream society, and those who belong to these so-called "one per center" motorcycle clubs follow strict internal rules and rituals of their own.
The trailer frames the dual nature of this world: some members are drawn in by a genuine love of motorcycles and the sense of brotherhood that comes with club membership, while police in various jurisdictions have characterized certain "one per center" gangs as organized criminal enterprises linked to serious violence, including murder. Rather than diving into a single case, this short introduction sets the stage for a deeper look at the culture, loyalty, and alleged criminality surrounding biker gang life.
