Gangster - 6. Starcrossed Lovers

Amy and Joe had been planning a future together, outside — but now they’re stuck behind bars, facing the consequences of their actions.

In this final episode, host Amber Haque unpicks how their story ends - and finds there’s still love, but also loss.

And for Amy, the question that lingers - was any of it ever real?
