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, there's surprisingly little to choose from. While typically dominated by shows, the Hulu top 10 is heavy on movies right now as people enjoy their Thanksgiving break. But there are still some popular shows worth watching, including a new animated holiday special from "Family Guy."
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. 27.
BEST SHOWS IN THE HULU TOP 10
'Dancing with the Stars'
ABC's hit reality show "Dancing with the Stars" is now in season 33, and it's still on ABC. But now, you can also watch it on Disney Plus and Hulu, making it easier than ever to see if your favorite stars can dance.
This season, host Alfonso Ribeiro is back, as is former professional dancer and judge Julianne Hough as the show's co-host. The epic three-hour finale just finished up this week, with five couples vying for the crown: Joey Graziadei ("The Bachelor") and Jenna Johnson, Ilona Maher (Olympic rugby player) and Alan Bersten, Chandler Kinney (actress and singer) and Brandon Armstrong, Stephen Nedoroscik (Olympic artistic gymnast) and Rylee Arnold and Danny Amendola (former NFL wide receiver).

'Family Guy'
At this point, you're probably familiar with "Family Guy." This animated series follows the Griffin family of Quahog, Rhode Island. There's the large bumbling father Peter (show creator Seth McFarlane), the overwhelmed wife/mother Lois (Alex Borstein), the constantly teased daughter Meg (Mila Kunis), the slow-witted son Chris (Seth Green), the hyperintelligent baby Stewie (McFarlane), and the talking family dog Brian (McFarlane).
Having just celebrated its 25th anniversary, the show has long left its "The Simpsons" comparisons and cancellation worries behind. The bulk of season 23 isn't coming until 2025, but "Family Guy" has dropped two holiday specials on Hulu so far this season. The most recent, "Gift of the White Guy" was just released earlier this week, so go watch it now for some (likely inappropriate) holiday cheer.
