Hulu top 10 shows — here's the 3 worth watching right now
These shows are definitely worth watching this week
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 reviewing this week's popular shows, we've narrowed the list down to three standouts from Hulu's current top 10 shows. "Only Murders in the Building" probably needs no introduction — the murder mystery comedy has been one of Hulu's best shows since it debuted. But unless you watch a lot of network TV, you might not be familiar with "9-1-1" or "High Potential," both of which are consistently trending on Hulu.
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, Nov. 1.
BEST SHOWS IN THE HULU TOP 10
'High Potential'
"High Potential" has been a surprise hit this fall, and Kaitlin Olson's performance as Morgan has been a winner for ABC. Morgan is a single mother working as a cleaning lady for the Los Angeles Police Department and her IQ ultimately lands her a consulting gig working with LAPD Major Crimes Detective Karadec (Daniel Sunjata) and Captain Selena (Judy Reyes).
Episode 6 just dropped on Hulu this week and has Morgan and the LAPD investigating a shocking murder at an office party. It also has Morgan catching the attention of a new member of the precinct. Start watching now and catch up fast.

'Only Murders in the Building'
The season 4 finale of "Only Murders in the Building" just dropped on Hulu this week, so it's no surprise to see this Hulu hit show trending. By all accounts, this finale really hit with an emotional gut punch, so you won't want to miss it.
If you've never watched this Emmy-nominated Hulu original comedy show, it's probably one of the most popular shows the streaming service has ever produced. It stars Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez, as Charles, Oliver and Mabel (respectively). This trio's obsession with true crime moves them to start a podcast when a murder rocks their apartment building.

'American Sports Story: Aaron Hernandez'
At one point, Aaron Hernandez was in the conversation for best tight ends in the NFL. At the very least, he was considered one of the best receiving tight ends. He and fellow tight end Rob Gronkowski were a dominant force on the New England Patriots from 2010 to 2012 and before that, he was a college football champion under Urban Meyer at Florida.
But while Gronkowski is now a future Hall of Famer, things took a bad turn for Hernandez. Behind the scenes, he had a reputation for a hot temper. That temper ultimately ended his career during the 2013 offseason when he was arrested for the murder of Odin Loyd. “American Sports Story: Aaron Hernandez” is a dramatized retelling of Hernandez’s rise and eventual fall, and while it's based on true events don’t expect 100% adherence to the truth in this FX limited series.
