Introduction

I found an interesting dataset from Kaggle that lists over 100 Netflix movies and tv series, in addition to their respective ratings from Rotten Tomatoes and IMDb. Other variables included are genre, languages, runtime, director, actors, writers, posters, box office information, trailer links on YouTube, and a few others still.

Visual 1: How Many Awards Were Most Movies and Series Nominated For?

Almost all movies and series were nominated for 0-50 awards, while some outliers were nominated for 75 awards or even over 100 awards.

Visual 2: How Many of The Movies and Series From Visual 1 Actually Won the Awards They Were Nominated For?

After taking a look at the distribution to see where the highest concentration of number of awards received was, it is no surprise that most movies received 0 awards. A few outliers receieved over 40 awards: - There Will Be Blood, Movie, Received 117 awards - The Help, Movie, Received 80 awards - Dances With Wolves, Movie, Received 51 awards - The Hateful Eight: Extended Version, Series, Received 42 Awards

Visual 3: Did certain Genres receive higher average Rotten Tomatoes Scores than others? Let’s breakdown this relationship further by Series or Movie to better differentiate between the two types of media.

It appears that Documentary, Crime, and Dramas received the highest average Rotten Tomatoes Scores, respectively. Horror, Family, and Adventure received the lowest average Rotten Tomatoes Scores, respectively.

Visual 4: Do movies or series typically receive the same IMDb Score as its Hidden Gem Score? Looking at this same relationship, does the movie or series length impact how high or low a media’s score was?

Overall, scores were higher for IMDb Scores than they were for Hidden Gem Scores. For example, there is a cluster of movie or series that received around a 6.0 IMDb Score but only received a 2.5 score from Hidden Gem. Another takeaway is that series that had an “Average” runtime received, on average, higher scores for both scales. There are many series that show IMDb and Hidden Gem Scores both over 5.0.

Visual 5: Did movies receive a higher average Rotten Tomatoes Score than series did?

After illustrating the relationship between Series or Movie and Rotten Tomatoes Score, I broke this relationship down further by showing the scores faceted by genre. The biggest takeaway is that on average, movies received a significantly higher Rotten Tomatoes Score than series did.
