They've certainly captured the aesthetic - sleek, distopic futuristic cyber city. Clean, lean, leggy human-programs. The visuals and Tron universe feel (the music, dark atmosphere, cryptic yet serene lights) are certainly appealing, but I wonder if it has any substance to it that goes beyond the usual tropes (good vs evil, rebellion, corruption, a dribble of sexual tension, etc) and explores the computing aspect. Hell, they could get very meta, with references that sail not only over their childhood viewers, but largely any non-tech oriented adults. This could certainly draw in the Adult Swim crowd.
