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.
