It's not bad, but it's also not good.
To be fair, I didn't particularly love the books, either. I found them eminently okay, and even though I tried to like them I never really understood the hype.
In the show, the side characters are more interesting than the main characters. There's not much chemistry between Matthew Goode and Teresa Palmer, but they are adequate with the material they have to work with.
Ultimately, the whole thing falls short of its potential. A bit of a shame, because the story itself was a pretty good idea.
It took me three attempts to get past the third episode because I was just that uninterested. But it did turn out to be a decent option to have playing while I'm doing other things like crafting or cleaning.

It's exactly what is claims to be. A Hallmark Christmas movie in which a widowed king and his adorable (although slightly older than the usual) daughter fall in love with the American peasant. There is so, so much wrong with this whole concept, but it is cliche only because it is a popular enough concept to grab casual viewers of the genre.
That said, it's just okay. Neither bad nor good, although there are some surprisingly passionate opinions on both sides in the reviews. That surprised me, because this movie does absolutely nothing to make it so exciting. But it also doesn't make me want to throw things. And it's pleasant enough to look at and listen to (in the background) that it can be on while the family is doing other things like cooking, cleaning, or conversing.
