Hulu is one of the best streaming services, in no small part due to its excellent library of shows. The Emmys proved that you need Hulu if you're a TV lover, with Hulu shows "Shogun" and "The Bear" taking home the most awards while several others scored nominations.

But with so many great TV shows available, it can be a bit of a struggle to figure out what to watch. Luckily, Hulu has a top 15 shows and movies collection that shows you what’s trending on the platform.

After reviewing this week's popular shows, we've narrowed the list to three standouts from Hulu's current top 10 shows. One established ABC drama and one new ABC drama occupy two of the top three spots. But leading the pack is "Doc," a new Fox drama about a doctor who loses their memories from the past eight years following a brain injury.

Without further ado, here are the three shows worth watching right now in Hulu’s top 10 shows. If you're looking for more to watch, check out our guide to Hulu's top movies.

This is based on the Hulu top 15 movies and shows as of Friday, January 17.

BEST SHOWS IN THE HULU TOP 10

'Doc'

Watch On

"Doc" stars Molly Parker as Dr. Amy Larsen, the chief of internal medicine at a fictional hospital in Minneapolis, Minnesota. A car accident causes serious brain trauma, resulting in memory loss that spans the previous eight years. That means she can't remember her divorce or other traumatic events that have shaped her life in that time. Now, she has to come to terms with that, while also resuming her medical career.

This show is based on an Italian drama "Doc – Nelle tue mani," which itself is based on the true story of an Italian doctor who forgot 12 years of his life following a car accident. So far, "Doc" has been a hit for Fox, and episode 2 just dropped on Hulu. So go check it out now if you're looking for a new network drama to watch.

"High Potential" has been a surprise hit for ABC now in its first season. The police procedural stars Kaitlin Olson as Morgan, a single mother who works as a cleaning lady for the Los Angeles Police Department. Her high IQ allows her to solve a case that had been vexing the LAPD, and that scores her a consulting gig working with LAPD Major Crimes Detective Karadec (Daniel Sunjata) and Captain Selena (Judy Reyes), against Karadec's wishes.

The show is back in full swing after taking some time off in December. Episode 9 just dropped, and has Morgan and the LAPD solving the case of a murdered sportscaster. Check it out now before episode 10 is released next week.

"The Rookie" stars Nathan Fillion as John Nolan, who began the show as a 45-year-old newly-divorced man from Pennsylvania. John decided to move to Los Angeles to become a police officer after helping stop a local bank robbery back home. At the time, it makes him by far the oldest rookie on the force.

Now though, John is an established presence in the LAPD. He has a new role in the force and even a new relationship. Season 7 is now in full swing and the latest episode has the LAPD hunting down a local vigilante. Check it out now, and if you haven't already, catch up with the rest of the series on Hulu.
