Reception[edit]

Though the series premiered with 2.18% ratings and ranked first in its time slot, its ratings rapidly dropped in the next few episodes. It was criticized for distortion of history, absurd plot and characters as well as poor CG effects. Despite the criticism, Phoenix was popular among teenagers and young viewers in their early 20s and the series averaged 18 million views per episode.[citation needed] The series earned a 3.3 out of more than 13,000 user reviews.[2]
