A new release of Amy Winehouse At The BBC is set to drop on May 7, 2021. Originally released as a boxset in 2012, this updated release is a collection of three LPs/CDs. The collection chronicles the many incredible performances by the late singer who passed away far too soon back in 2011*.
This updated release will mark the very first time audio-only versions of the songs featured on A Tribute to Amy Winehouse by Jools Holland and the BBC One Sessions Live at Porchester Hall have been released. “Stronger Than Me,” “Tears Dry on Their Own,” and “You Know I’m No Good” will be available on streaming services beginning on March 24th, and a video for “Stronger Than Me” is now available on YouTube (and embedded above).
This collection will be a must-own for Amy Winehouse fans, completely capturing the enormously talented, unique, and truly incomparable performer.
Amy Winehouse At The BBC features Winehouse’s early BBC Radio sessions along with music from her first-ever TV performances. Plus, the new release will include “unheard gems, rarities, unique covers and live versions of classic songs from ‘Frank’ and ‘Back To Black,'” according to Island/UMe.

The hospital’s in dire straits on NBC’s New Amsterdam season three episode five, “Blood, Sweat and Tears.” Episode five is set to air on March 30, 2021.
Ryan Eggold returns to lead the cast as Dr. Max Goodwin. Janet Montgomery plays Dr. Lauren Bloom, Freema Agyeman is Dr. Helen Sharpe, Tyler Labine is Dr. Iggy Frome, Anupam Kher is Dr. Vijay Kapoor, and Daniel Dae Kim plays Dr. Cassian Shin.
“Blood, Sweat and Tears” Plot: When Sharpe notices the hospital’s blood supply is running dangerously low, Max concocts a plan to get New Amsterdam out of trouble. Reynolds realizes he has a thing or two to learn from Bloom while making peace with his new position. Iggy helps a patient face their inner demons.
When Dr. Max Goodwin took over New Amsterdam, he asked a simple, revolutionary question: “How can I help?” In season three, Max and his team face the daunting task of sustaining that optimism while dealing with a pandemic that exposed the gaping inequities in our health care. Max is no longer content to fix a broken system. He’s determined to tear it down and build something better.

Trauma, stress, loss, grief, and a headache all play big roles in season seven episode four of The CW’s The Flash. As the episode begins a news reporter is covering how S.T.A.R. Labs and everyday citizens are volunteering to help repair Central City after the attack by the Mirror Master. The Flash surprises everyone by speeding up and letting himself be interviewed. He apologizes to the city for not being able to stop Mirror Master earlier and promises he’ll make it up to Central City. He believes the city can rebuild because he believes in its citizens.
Over at Iris’ office, Iris persists in forcing Allegra (Kayla Compton) to come clean and reveal that in her opinion after editing Iris’ article on the Mirror Master attack on Central City…it’s awful. Her reasoning is that it has too many facts and not enough emotion. She suggests Iris needs to reveal to the readers her time spent in the mirrorverse, which she’s left out.
Later that night as a volunteer is finishing up and about to go home, a rumble occurs and he turns to see a man in black with white hair standing before him. “I’m the greatest magician of all time which is why you should be more than just afraid…you should be terrified!” claims the mysterious man who then uses his glowing wand to make deadly cards pierce the man who screams in agony.
The following day Cisco (Carlos Valdes), Chester (Brandon McKnight), and Barry (Grant Gustin) are investigating the murder of the volunteer for the CCPD. (It seems Chester is now an intern working for them.) After collecting a few clues and seeing the body, it’s quickly obvious to Barry and Joe (Jesse L. Martin) that Abra Kadabra (David Dastmalchian) is back from the future. However, instead of just being a thief who uses 64th-century tech to mimic magic, he’s now killing with it.
Meanwhile, Iris (Candice Patton) attends a mirrorverse survivors support group to get an interview for her story. After listening to a speaker being interrupted by people asking if she’s okay, Iris quickly excuses herself and leaves – still obviously suffering from the trauma she went through.
At S.T.A.R. Labs, Chester and Cisco are scanning and pick up a signal of energy identifying Abra Kadabra’s location. The Flash and Cisco, wearing new sonic blasting gear, speed over to confront him. They try to capture him, but he uses his tech to distract them and turns the tables putting The Flash in the special cuffs which he can’t phase out of. Abra Kadabra says he’s doing The Flash a favor killing him now so he won’t have to face the wrath of the Chronarch. Just as he’s about to kill the speedster, he’s hit by an icy cold blast and Frost (Danielle Panabaker) takes him down.
A.R.G.U.S. shows up and takes Abra Kadabra away. Frost gives Cisco an item of tech she lifted off of the deadly magician and asks for a favor.
Back at S.T.A.R. Labs, Cisco runs some tests on Frost and Caitlin to see why she still feels so tired after the fight with Mirror Master and can’t shake off a bad headache. Cisco tells her all the tests show that she’s fine, but Frost says she can feel something is wrong.
At A.R.G.U.S., Abra Kadabra uses a few more tricks and gets free. He then gets access to some tech he needs to build an anti-matter bomb.
Barry tries to take Iris away for a romantic getaway; he already took her to Maui a few days ago and has been overly romantic with her since getting her back. Iris tries to argue that she needs to work on her article, but Barry sees she hasn’t written a single word. Just as she’s about to agree to the getaway, Barry receives an alert about Abra Kadabra roaming A.R.G.U.S.. He speeds off to stop him.
When The Flash shows up Abra Kadabra once again one-ups him and locks him in a constrictive metallic halo which squeezes tighter the more he tries to escape. Abra Kadabra reminds Barry the last time they faced off Barry asked him to find a light inside himself. He did just that but then Barry stole it from him.
Abra Kadabra builds his bomb in front of The Flash, telling him it’s time for his final trick “to make a whole city disappear.” Abra Kadabra and the bomb vanish.
Once more at S.T.A.R. Labs, Team Flash go over what Abra Kadabra told Barry. Cisco realizes he’s built an anti-matter bomb that’s strong enough to destroy Central City. Barry blames himself for not seeing Abra’s plan and goes off to sulk. (Seriously, a bomb that could have enough power to destroy the city in a few hours is out there somewhere and now is when Barry decides to pout and sulk! Oh, please!)
Iris shows up and gives Barry the pep talk he needs to get up and go after Abra, telling him that he was a victim of what Eva as the Mirror Master did to him by tricking him with Mirror Iris. Barry suddenly realizes why Abra Kadabra is attacking the city and claims he knows how to stop him.
Team Flash gets a hit on where Abra Kadabra is and The Flash speeds off. He confronts him in downtown CC and shows the evil magician an image of the wife and child he once had. Moved, Abra Kadabra tells Barry how he kept having flashes of memories that didn’t make sense but that he finally figured out that he had a wife and daughter who got erased after Crisis. He blames The Flash for taking away his family so he will destroy the speedster’s city as revenge.
The Flash tells Abra Kadabra everyone lost someone in Crisis. “I lost someone, too. He was like a brother to me and ever since I’ve tried to honor his sacrifice.” He goes on to tell Abra Kadabra that he can’t bring back his family because that timeline is gone. The Scarlet Speedster asks Abra Kadabra if his wife and child would want him to destroy a city and cause millions of deaths in their names. This finally reaches the mourning magician and he stops powering the bomb.
Abra Kadabra asks how he can go on without them and The Flash assures him “the people we love never really leave us.” He needs to find hope through the love he had with them in this world. Abra Kadabra says he doesn’t get it and that they are mortal enemies in the future. “Why are you doing this?” he asks. “So the next time we meet, maybe we won’t be,” answers The Flash as he extends a hand in friendship. Abra Kadabra shakes his hand.
Just as they are shaking the ground shakes and rumbles. “This isn’t me!” says the magician as a huge monster appears and attacks. The Flash gets knocked off his feet and Abra Kadabra distracts the beast by calling it over to him. He then lights up the bomb again and sends it into the monster as it explodes. The beast isn’t killed but instead is able to absorb the bomb’s energy.
The monster stomps over and hits Abra Kadabra hard, sending him crashing into a wall and onto a garbage container. The Flash sends lightning at the monster but it just absorbs it. The monster grabs The Flash and squeezes him tight almost killing him, and then growls loudly and jumps away.
The next day at S.T.A.R. Labs Team Flash talk about Abra Kadabra giving his life to fight the beast and that the monster can just absorb deadly energy, possibly making it unstoppable. Barry warns them they have to find a way to stop it.
Iris returns to the mirrorverse support group but this time to talk as a member and not to get an interview. She realized when Barry forced Abra Kadabra to face the trauma of losing his family she needed to face hers about being lost and trapped for three months.
The final scene of the episode shows Cisco working in his lab. Caitlin walks in with a worried look on her face. “Thank God you’re here. There’s something I need to show you,” says Caitlin. Cisco asks if she’s still having the headaches and she replies, “Nope, not anymore.” He turns in his chair to face her and is stunned to see Caitlin and Frost split apart as two separate people. “Hello Cisco, how great is this,” says a happy and smiling Frost.
The Flash Season 7 Episode 4 Review:
The return of an intriguing villain and his revenge plan sadly takes a back seat to the guilt, trauma, and regret Barry and Iris are struggling with after battling the Mirror Master. Bringing back David Dastmalchian to reprise the role of Abra Kadabra, a character he first portrayed back in season three, is a great touch and a nice addition to the episode. Dastmalchian plays Abra Kadabra this time with more anger and rage as he’s bent on revenge instead of the deadly playful magician as he was originally. It’s his performance as the “villain of the week” that is the highlight of the episode.
Unfortunately, the going back and forth to Iris not dealing with her own trauma and Barry still blaming himself for Iris being trapped for so long in the mirrorverse drastically distracts and takes away momentum and time from the hunt for the returned deadly magician. Also, the heavy-handed reminders of Barry’s big heart and the power of love on someone’s life, while well-meaning, is getting tired and thin.
Here’s hoping moving forward Team Flash can focus on new themes and ideas with more action.

FX’s Mayans M.C. season three episode three opens with a brief flashback to Coco’s childhood. It’s revealed his mother used to ask him to help her shoot up. Even as Coco was injecting her, she’d beg him never to be like her when he grew up.
Back to current events and Coco (Richard Cabral) wakes to discover a woman informing him she made everything better via a needle. Coco appears stunned as the heroin courses through his body.
Gaby (Sulem Calderon) practically whistles while she works, putting away groceries at Felipe’s place with a huge, peaceful smile on her face. Meanwhile, EZ’s morning is filled with exercise while Angel (Clayton Cardenas) rises from another night of attempting to push Adelita out of his head by having sex with random women.
A short while later EZ (JD Pardo) lays out his plans to crown Bishop the sole king. He and Angel will bring over 200 keys and Taza (Raoul Max Trujillo) warns if anything goes wrong, that’s a massive debt they’ll owe. EZ doesn’t believe there will be any problems and reminds them that’s what they need to supply to Arizona in order to give Bishop the throne.
Bishop (Michael Irby) agrees as Angel walks into the bar. He doesn’t join the table and instead grabs a beer as the bartender, Nails (Justina Adorno), wonders why he didn’t call her the previous evening. He claims to have crashed early but she figures out what really happened when Angel’s latest conquest walks into the bar. Angel brushes Nails off, saying he’s busy with the club later and can’t meet up.
Bishop tells those assembled they need a few days to coordinate with Alvarez. The shipment’s too big to organize quickly.
Insert the episode’s “What the f*ck, Steve?” line as glasses crash to the floor, interrupting the meeting. (This seems to be a running gag in season three.)
Riz’s Aunt Vicki (Elpidia Carrillo) visits Alicia, the woman arrested for transporting drugs, in jail. Vicki suggests Alicia tell the cops who gave her the drugs, explaining the club doesn’t care about anyone. They took what was Riz’s after his death which means they stole from her. Vicki believes Alicia only has one viable option.
Bishop and EZ head over to Marcus Alvarez’s home and Bishop jokes about the suburbs being the place outlaws come to die. Marcus (Emilio Rivera) heard about the meeting with the other kings and Bishop explains he needs to bring 200 keys over the border to fix things. Marcus doesn’t catch on to what Bishop actually has planned and Bishop doesn’t clarify that his plans include toppling the other kings.
Bishop says they need the 250 kilos today and Marcus agrees to work on gathering the product.
After they hug, Bishop walks away and quietly says to EZ, “You and your brother are going over today. F*ck them all…it’s going down tonight.”
Meanwhile, over at the Galindo estate Erin’s still hanging around “helping” her sister with Cristobal. Erin doesn’t have any filter and teases Miguel (Danny Pino) about what he does for a living. Emily (Sarah Bolger) doesn’t think her sister’s funny; the tension apparently hasn’t eased since Erin unexpectedly appeared in her driveway at Miguel’s request.
Emily attempts to explain to Erin they need to be careful as the town’s not exactly on their side right now. They can’t just run out for ice cream because there aren’t any security personnel available.
Coco considers the track mark on his arm and his current situation. He flees the trailer and vomits in the dirt as the group’s leader (played by Teen Wolf and The 100’s JR Bourne) asks him if he slept well. Coco’s soon surrounded by the group who appear to not only be druggies but also in some sort of cult. Coco wants to leave and the leader hands him back his gun. When Coco immediately points it at the man’s forehead, he’s taken down once again.
Coco swats away the leader’s hand when he offers help. He grabs his gun and fires into the air, warning he’ll kill anyone who touches him again.
Coco races off to his car and screams in anger and frustration when he looks at his track mark again.
EZ and Angel walk through the tunnel, and Angel calls his baby bro “Bishop’s boy.” Angel warns that if this doesn’t work, the club will come after EZ. He notes the Mayans M.C. are like a sewing circle full of “jealous-ass bitches.”
“Swing big, miss big,” says Angel.
“I’ve never been afraid of swinging,” replies EZ.
They emerge from the tunnel inside a house and pay off the elderly woman watching TV.
Coco returns to the clubhouse and Gilly (Vincent Vargas) immediately gets in his face demanding to know where he’s been. Coco’s obviously upset and asks for a private moment to talk things out. Coco admits he knows he’s been messing up and Gilly warns they’re tired of covering for him with Bishop. He breaks down, explaining he’s in so much pain he can’t take it without drugs. Coco also admits he just broke a promise and wants to stop screwing up his life.
The club emerges to meet Sons of Anarchy’s Happy (David Labrava) and Allesandro (Jacob Vargas) who’ve shown up unexpectedly. They want to discuss Packer’s cancer and Happy reveals he’s running San Bernardino while Packer’s in chemo. This is just a courtesy call.
The atmosphere’s chilly as Allesandro and Happy warn Santo Padre not to ride through any SoA turf without calling first. Bishop replies that they always call and, turning the tables, says he didn’t receive a call first that SoA was rolling up for this meeting.
Allesandro explains they’re there out of respect to warn the Mayans that actions have consequences. Bishop asks for them to clarify and Happy replies, “A couple dozen dead Mexicans.”
Allesandro adds, “And Jax Teller’s last wishes disrespected.”
SoA confirms they’re doing this with Chibs’ blessing.
The tense meeting ends and Hank (Frankie Loyal) wonders if this was all due to the dead reaper in the desert. Bishop doesn’t think Happy has a clue about anything but warns that Allesandro’s a crafty dude.

The discussion returns to the huge drug shipment in the works and Taza reveals he and Hank are worried about EZ and his plan. Bishop disagrees and thinks EZ sees the future. He warns Taza and Hank to get their heads out of the past.
Speaking of EZ, he and his bro arrive to pick up the product out in the middle of nowhere. The guy they’re meeting with introduces himself as Juan Denver and keeps quoting John Denver songs. Angel’s getting pissed off but EZ immediately gets into the spirit of things and tosses lines back at Juan.
“What the fuck is happening right now?!” asks Angel, representing all of us.
Juan grabs a sledgehammer as EZ looks at a shipping manifest. The stuff was supposed to be moved over the border prior to the shutdown. Juan uses the sledgehammer to expose the drugs contained inside a cement divider.
Elsewhere, Felipe (Edward James Olmos) and Gaby do some bonding while he fills her in on EZ.
Emily’s also involved in a bonding experience with her sister who, reluctantly, she’s allowed to convince her to get ice cream. Erin’s worried about her sister’s marriage, noting there’s nothing sexual about the kisses she shares with Miguel.
They’re still involved in the discussion of Emily’s marriage outside in the car when townsfolk toss a milkshake at Emily’s windshield. (Emily doesn’t have a security detail with her.) Erin immediately reacts, jumping out of the car and confronting the man who threw it. He blames Emily and her family for destroying the whole town and putting everyone out of work.
Erin cusses him out, picks up what remains of the shake, and tosses it at the man’s departing car, offering a kick to the driver’s side for good measure.
When Erin returns to the car Emily’s doubled over in laughter. Cristobal’s contribution to the conversation is a huge fart caused by the ice cream.
The club rolls up to Aunt Vicki’s ranch and Bishop instructs her to shut down for the night and give her girls an evening off. Vicki reminds them the girls aren’t theirs and the property also doesn’t belong to the club. Bishop doesn’t back down and Vicki’s forced into submitting to their demands. She’s obviously unhappy about this development.
EZ and Angel wheel the heavy load through the tunnel but the cart breaks down. The brothers are forced to finish the job by carrying the entire load. They finally make it to their destination and Angel warns he’s out of breath and yells for someone else to haul the drugs up to the surface.
EZ basically calls his big brother out for being out of shape. Angel responds with a one-finger salute.
The drugs are brought up from the tunnel and Bishop praises EZ, claiming he may have saved the charter along with a bunch of his brothers’ lives.
Coco has a moment when it appears he’s considering taking one of the packages.
As they’re loading the drugs in a truck, a Border Patrol caravan is spotted coming toward the ranch. Bishop orders everything placed back into the tunnel. They’ve got about two minutes to get it done.
Panic sets in as it’s down to 30 seconds before the Border Patrol arrives. Hank orders Steve to head them off to buy the club more time. As Steve sits in the driver’s seat he says to himself, ”What the f*ck, Steve?” (And there’s the payoff for that running gag.)
Steve pulls his truck in front of the BP, forcing them to stop. He claims not to speak English as they place him under arrest.
The guys make a run for it as the BP pulls up. They search the area as Bishop can only shake his head and utter “f*ck” under his breath. (Maybe pissing Vicki off wasn’t a good idea?)
Later at the clubhouse, drinks are rapidly consumed as Angel suggests EZ not approach Bishop right now to take the blame. EZ wonders what went wrong and Angel admits he doesn’t know.
Hank reveals Taza and Creeper have the drugs and are sitting on them for now.
Hank speaks privately with Bishop and expresses his concern that all of this is going to get back to Alvarez. He doesn’t think they should have lied to Alvarez and isn’t sure how long Taza and Creeper can babysit the drugs now that the club’s exposed.
Hank is also worried this will get back to the other kings.
Bishop storms off without responding.
Over at the Galindo place, Emily tries to get Miguel in the mood for sex. Miguel’s not overly enthusiastic and ultimately pulls away, leaving Emily seated on the floor, confused.
Angel turns his attention to Nails while Coco once again breaks the promise he made to his mother years ago as a child. He’s returned to the drug encampment and after shooting up, the leader sneaks in and takes his photo. He praises the girl Coco’s with and rewards her with more drugs.
Bishop’s drinking and sitting outside Mayor Antonia Pena’s home when she finally invites him in. As they walk to the front door, Bishop observes the flashing needs repair. She notes it’s been that way since he left.
Felipe’s relaxing with a puzzle when EZ stops by to pick up Gaby. She reminds Felipe the leftovers are in the fridge and he barely reacts.
As EZ drops Gaby off at her place he thanks her for looking after his dad. She confesses it’s nice for her too because she misses her mom and brother. Gaby doesn’t invite him in and they say goodnight rather formally. She turns as she’s about to go up the sidewalk and pulls EZ in for a long, passionate kiss.
EZ has a big “I’m in love” smile on his face as he rides off.
Angel’s home naked and kissing Nails when Adelita (Carla Baratta) interrupts, surprising the couple from a nearby chair. Episode three ends with Adelita staring at the father of her child.

The Mitchells vs. The Machines is an animated action-comedy about an ordinary family who find themselves in the middle of their biggest family challenge yet…saving the world from the robot apocalypse. No big deal, right?
It all starts when creative outsider Katie Mitchell is accepted into the film school of her dreams and is eager to leave home and find “her people,” when her nature-loving dad insists on having the whole family drive her to school and bond during one last totally-not-awkward-or-forced road trip. But just when the trip can’t get any worse, the family suddenly finds itself in the middle of the robot uprising! Everything from smart phones, to roombas, to evil Furbys are employed to capture every human on the planet. Now it’s up to the Mitchells, including upbeat mom Linda, quirky little brother Aaron, their squishy pug, Monchi, and two friendly, but simple-minded robots to save humanity.

This Is Us Series Description, Courtesy of NBC:
Everyone has a family. And every family has a story. This Is Us chronicles the Pearson family across the decades: from Jack (Ventimiglia) and Rebecca (Moore) as young parents in the 1980s to their kids (the big three), Kevin (Hartley), Kate (Metz) and Randall (Brown) searching for love and fulfillment in the present day along with Toby (Sullivan) and Beth (Kelechi Watson). This grounded, life-affirming dramedy reveals how the tiniest events in our lives impact who we become, and how the connections we share with each other can transcend time, distance, and even death.
