Netflix really doesn't need to produce something like the wire or mad men or breaking bad. There's no reason to make a show that appeals strongly to 70% of the market when they could make 70 shows that 1% of the market is fanatical about. They don't have only one channel that competes for content and they don't seem budget limited.
Ironically, it seems like AmazonPrime is far better at that.
As for then top ten being bottom barrel stuff, I think you overestimate how popular mad men was vs. something like king of queens.
I will say, Netflix seems to fail in many cases, and I don't understand how they think content discovery is supposed to work.
