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, I found plenty of drama in Hulu's current top 10 shows. "High Potential" and "Paradise" continue to dominate the list of Hulu's trending shows, which is no surprise. But this week, they're joined by the return of reality TV royalty.

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, check out our guide to Hulu's top movies.

This is based on the Hulu top 15 movies and shows as of Friday, February 14.

BEST SHOWS IN THE HULU TOP 10

'High Potential'

Watch On

"High Potential" is a relatively new ABC crime drama starring Kaitlin Olson as Morgan, a cleaning lady for the Los Angeles Police Department. But it's already 13 episodes into its first season and become a massive hit for ABC and Hulu.

The premise for this procedural is simple. Morgan is making ends meet as a single mother working a menial job, but she's secretly brilliant, with a high IQ and expansive knowledge. One day, LAPD Major Crimes head Captain Selena (Judy Reyes) picks up on Morgan's talents and hires her as a consultant, much to the chagrin of Detective Karadec (Daniel Sunjata). Catch up on the show now and then watch the latest episode, which has the LAPD using their puzzle-solving skills to solve a kidnapping investigation.

'Paradise'

Watch On

As mentioned already, "Paradise" is a political thriller starring Sterling K. Brown as Secret Service Special Agent Xavier Collins. He's currently assigned to U.S. President Cal Bradford's (James Marsden) security detail at the President's home in a posh community. Things seem relatively easy for guarding the most powerful man in the world, but fairly quickly into the show, we get a shocking reveal — the President is dead, bleeding on the floor in his residence.

That twist would be enough to form a solid premise for a good TV show, but "Paradise" gives it away in the trailer! Instead, by the end of the first episode the story takes a far more shocking turn into a darker conspiracy. Whether you love a political thriller like "The Night Agent" or a mystery show like "Severance" this show has something for you.

'The Kardashians'

Watch On

I'm a far cry from a reality TV fan — though I do love a competition show like "The Traitors" — but even I know the Kardashian family. Made famous in no small part due to their hit reality show "Keeping up with the Kardashians" on E!, they have since taken their talents to Hulu for a sequel series simply dubbed "The Kardashians."

This new show still follows the Kardashian/Jenner sisters Kourtney, Kim, Khloé, Kendall and Kylie, and of course, their mother Kris, as they navigate celebrity, motherhood, business ventures and more. Season 6 has just started, with episode 1 "Literally Falling Apart" now available to stream on Hulu. Go check out the first two episodes now.
