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 and several others scoring 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 going through what's popular this week, we've narrowed that list down to three of Hulu's current top 10 shows that stand out from the rest. "Tell Me Lies" season 2 has been a huge hit for Hulu and has consistently been in the top 10 shows. It's joined by a pair of ABC procedural dramas. Ryan Murphy's hit show "9-1-1" takes a high spot on the top 10 and it's joined by the new hit "High Potential" starring Kaitlin Olson
So 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, make sure to check out our guide to Hulu's top movies.
This is based on the Hulu top 15 movies and shows as of Friday, Oct. 18.
BEST SHOWS IN THE HULU TOP 10
'Tell Me Lies'
"Tell Me Lies" stars Grace Van Patten as Lucy Albright. Lucy is a student at Baird College and the show follows her drama-filled relationship with her classmate Stephen DeMarco (Jackson White).
The show is based on the 2018 novel of the same name and is intended to follow their relationship over eight years starting from when they met in Lucy's freshman year. Season 2 covers Lucy's sophomore year at Baird and introduces Tom Ellis as Oliver, a professor at Baird having an affair with Lucy's friend Bree (Catherine Missal).

'9-1-1'
Shaped in the mold of procedural dramas like "Law and Order" and "Chicago Fire," "9-1-1" does not reinvent the wheel. But here's the thing — it doesn't need to. The procedural format is already perfect. Why ruin a good thing?
From prodigious TV producer Ryan Murphy, "9-1-1" follows the lives of Los Angeles first responders, including police officers, paramedics, firefighters, and 9-1-1 dispatchers. It features a large ensemble cast but stars the incredible Angela Bassett as Athena Grant, an LAPD patrol sergeant and wife of fellow main character Bobby's Nash, an LAFD station captain.

'High Potential'
"High Potential" is ABC's latest hit ABC crime drama. It stars Kaitlin Olson as Morgan, a single mother working as a cleaning lady for the Los Angeles Police Department. One day, she starts cleaning the offices only to see evidence for an investigation laid out in front of her. With her high IQ, she immediately spots a mistake, corrects it and then moves on with her work.
But her correction doesn't escape the notice of LAPD Major Crimes Detective Karadec (Daniel Sunjata) and Captain Selena (Judy Reyes). Selena picks up on Morgan's talents and hires her as a consultant, much to the chagrin of Karadec. Now on episode 5, this is the network TV drama you don't want to miss.
