python - Plotting a time series?

I'm really new to using python as a data analysis tool, and it's my first time ever dealing with time series. I have a data set which has dates in the first column, and a "result" integer which is either 1 or 0. The date column was successfully converted to a time object. I tried to plot the values directly using matplotlib's plot function, but that did not work.. Sample:

    Date       Result
2017-01-06     0.0
2017-01-06     1.0
2017-01-06     0.0
2017-01-07     0.0
2017-01-07     0.0

I tried using df.plot(), but the resulting plot has very undesirable results.

What I want at the end of the day is dates on the x axis, and the "result" on the y axis. Where am I going wrong? What's wrong with what I'm doing? EDIT: Here's the graph

Please use

df.set_index('Date').plot()

or

df.plot(x='Date', y='Result')

because of the plot by default use index of df as the x-axis, so you should set the 'Date' column as the index, or specify which column to use as the x-axis.

see more at pandas.DataFrame.plot
