Hulu top 10 shows — here's the 3 worth watching right now

Kaitlin Olson in ABC's "High Potential".

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. This week that's the Emmy-nominated Hulu Original "Only Murders in the Building," the hit new ABC drama "High Potential" and "Abbott Elementary," which may be the best sitcom on network television right now.

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. 25.

BEST SHOWS IN THE HULU TOP 10

'High Potential'

"High Potential" has been a surprise hit for ABC this fall. This crime drama stars Kaitlin Olson as Morgan, a single mother working as a cleaning lady for the Los Angeles Police Department. She also has an extremely high IQ, and so when she spots a mistake with an ongoing investigation while cleaning one night, she quickly corrects it and then moves on with her shift.

That quick correction doesn't escape the notice of LAPD Major Crimes Detective Karadec (Daniel Sunjata) and Captain Selena (Judy Reyes). Karadex is furious, but Selena hires Morgan as a consultant after recognizing her high potential. Catch up on the first season now.

'Abbott Elementary'

In the vein of classic sitcoms like "The Office" and "Parks and Recreation," this show also adopts the mockumentary format for its 22-minute episodes. And it does it brilliantly. "Abbott Elementary" has 24 Emmy Award nominations through its first three seasons and has won four, including Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for show star Quinta Brunson.

In "Abbott Elementary," Brunson plays Janine Teagues, a second-grade teacher at the underfunded Abbott Elementary School in Philadelphia. She's also perpetually looking at the bright side of things, which is shocking since she has to support Philadelphia sports teams year in and year out. If you love a classic sitcom, this show is a must-watch.

Season 4 has these three headed to Hollywood to investigate the shocking events from the end of season 3. They're also joined by a cast loaded with stars, including Meryl Streep returning as Loretta Durkin. The season 4 finale is next week, so catch up fast!
