John Chu’s 2025 movie adaptation of the Broadway musical, "Wicked: For Good," just landed on Netflix this week, and to absolutely no one's surprise, it's already in the top 10. Though if you ask me, there are much better musicals on Netflix that are more worth your time. With all the best songs of "Wicked" in the first half, I knew "For Good" would struggle to stack up, but Glinda's new song and a few smart creative liberties to help buoy the less prolific singers (*cough* Jeff Goldblum*) managed to delight well enough.It picks up right after "Wicked's" gravity-defying conclusion, with Elphaba now in her Wicked Witch of the West era on the run from the Wizard (Goldblum). Many of her old pals from Shiz now lead the mob calling for her head. Glinda and Elphaba clash over what's best for Oz, but when a mysterious storm sends a young girl from Kansas (and her little dog too) crashing into their world, it changes their lives for good.Watch "Wicked: For Good" on Netflix nowGet instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips.'A Toxic Love Story'
