Has anyone watched this? The subject matter isn't super interesting to me, but if it's as good as, say, Chernobyl, I'd be willing to give it a shot.

It's not bad, but I wouldn't put it anywhere close to Chernobyl.
It follows a similar structure but refuses to go as hard into the "lies" that ultimately provided the resolution to Chernobyl. Part of the problem is we don't really know who did PA103 so there's no payoff other than suspecting a deep state coverup.
What I found interesting, that I must not have paid attention to at the time, was the timing of PA103 in relation to the Berlin bombing, Tripoli F-111 strike, and the prelude to the first Gulf War. I think the show glossed over all that too quickly.
It's also kind of sad seeing the Braveheart wife chick be an old lady.

This dramatization felt flat in comparison to the Sky Original Lockerbie four part documentary, so I recommend watching that instead to get a broader picture.
