About
captures detailed episode metrics and metadata for the popular television series Silicon Valley, created by Mike Judge, John Altschuler, and Dave Krinsky. The data covers all 53 episodes across six seasons, spanning the original air dates from April 2014 through December 2019. It provides key information such as episode titles, directors, writers, and crucial performance metrics including US viewer counts. The compilation was generated by acquiring information from IMDb TV episode datasets and subsequent scraping from Wikipedia, offering a consolidated resource for analysing the show's run and audience reception. The series centres on a group of friends navigating the challenges of a technology start-up, making the dataset particularly relevant for those interested in TV viewership trends and the entertainment industry.
Columns
The dataset contains eight key fields detailing each episode:
- season: The season number in which the episode aired. The minimum season is 1 and the maximum is 6.
- episode_num_in_season: The sequential number of the episode within its respective season.
- episode_num_overall: The total episode number across the entire series, ranging from 1 to 53.
- title: The unique title assigned to the episode.
- directed_by: The primary director credited for the episode. Mike Judge is the most frequent director.
- written_by: The writers responsible for the episode's script.
- original_air_date: The date the episode was first broadcast.
- us_viewers: The number of US viewers who watched the episode on its original air date. Viewership ranges from approximately 311,000 to 2.13 million.
Distribution
The data is structured as a tabular file, typically provided in CSV format. The dataset consists of 53 records, corresponding precisely to the number of episodes released across the six seasons of the show. The raw file size is relatively small, noted as 3.93 kB. All columns are fully populated with valid data, displaying no missing or mismatched values. There is no expectation of future updates, as the series concluded its run.
Usage
This data product is ideal for several analytical applications. It can be used to compare US viewership metrics directly against IMDb ratings (though IMDb ratings are external to this specific file, the provided fields facilitate joining with external datasets on episode Title and Air Date). Researchers can analyse patterns in audience size over the seasons, correlate viewership with specific directors or writers, or study the timing of the original air dates. Fans of the show can also use the data for personal analysis and trivia compilation.
Coverage
The temporal scope of the data ranges from the premiere date of April 6, 2014, up to the finale on December 8, 2019. Geographic coverage is focused on viewership statistics specifically for the US audience. The dataset covers the entire duration of the television series, including all six seasons and 53 episodes, providing a complete record of the production and initial reception metrics.
