Enjoyable in a delightfully surreal way and also understandable by non-IT types. OK, it had "Have you tried switching the computer off, then on again" as a running gag; what's wrong with that? All too often we been told in real life to uninstall Windows and re-install it; the standard escape route for sloppy tech support departments.
Give it a chance: it's clean, non-violent and amusing. And it isn't about crime, hospitals, 'celebrities' or cooking. Hooray!
