Edit: She had never heard of the show either.
It would likely seem dated in many respects. After Twin Peaks it was one of the very first shows to have season long narrative arcs and a meta-plot that stretched from season to season. Since there was no real way to re-watch episodes you missed most shows prior to the 90s were self contained monster of the week things with very limited if any ongoing plot. Twin Peaks and X-files were some of the first shows to break with that and start telling a story that built up over the course of the series. If you missed an episode you could ask your coworkers what happened the next day, or you could read a summary in an actual magazine made from real dead trees, but that was pretty much it. So having a show where you really did have to watch every episode was a really radical development in tv story telling.
