On the strength of the first four episodes, this is nothing more than a medieval royal succession drama viewed from a female perspective and tarted up with some CGI dragons. It's predictable, not particularly engaging and the dialogue is often stilted and cliched. None of the main characters are especially likeable or memorable and the wigs are ridiculous. It delivers nothing much of interest except the female perspective of being married off to secure diplomatic goals. There's nothing wrong with that. However, the same process also applied to males and the series displays absolutely no interest in the wretched lives of peasants, female or male, who are there to be used by royalty and the nobility as playthings. Essentially, it's 'poor little princess' with high production values, CGI and a ponderous, self-important script.
