My first project in R! I saw some similar graphs on Twitter and was inspired to practice some Data Vizualization.

Data
Ratings are averaged ratings from IMDb users. The data is freely available from IMDb.
- Datasets: https://datasets.imdbws.com/
- Documentation: https://www.imdb.com/interfaces/
R packages I used
For plot styling, I mainly used these two packages. I highly recommend them:
trekcolors: A color palette package
Predefined and customizable Star Trek themed color palettes and related functions.
trekfont: A fonts package
True (Trek) type fonts to style your Star Trek themed graphics text.
Inspiration
Cedric Scherer’s visualization of the ratings for “The Office”:
