The tvseries package contains data from IMDb regarding TV shows ratings, genre, seasons, chapters and other information.
# First install R package devtools if it is not installed in your machine
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("mireia-bioinfo/tvseries")
I recommend not loading the whole package with library(tvseries) as it contains large datasets and
it might freeze your R session.
You can load and assign the different datasets in the package using:
df <- tvseries::tvseries_top100
At this point, the package contains three different datasets:
tvseries_must_watch. Dataset containing IMDb ratings for 4 TV series that I personally recommend you should watch! This TV series are:c("Jane the Virgin", "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend", "Brooklyn Nine-Nine", "The Good Place").tvseries_top100. Dataset containing IMDb ratings for the top 100 TV series selected by their popularity (average number of votes per episode) and their average ranking.tvseries_top250. Dataset containing IMDb ratings for the top 250 TV series selected by their popularity (average number of votes per episode) and their average ranking.tvseries. Dataset containing IMDb ratings for all series, seasons and episodes. Be careful when loading this dataset as it is pretty big and might freeze your session.
All these datasets have the same number of columns which are the following:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| tvseries_title | Name of the TV series. |
| episode_title | Name of the episode. |
| season_number | Season number. |
| episode_number | Episode number. |
| start_year | Year the show started. |
| end_year | Year the show ended. |
| runtime_min | Length of the episode in minutes. |
| genres | Genres of the TV series. |
| average_rating | Average rating of the episode. |
| votes | Number of votes for that episode. |
