Oh I certainly agree BTL doesn't need a remake and yes it would be great for the original to be on Netflix. It's just that the aspect ratio isn't going to make the original show attractive to the modern day mainstream viewer.
Given the success Netflix had with House of Cards, I can easily imagine them doing a skillful remake of BTL aimed at modern day American issues. Especially when you think of the racial tension in America and police relations. Far from dated, the issues (and political incorrectness) are just as topical as ever.
A remake would also shine a deserved new light on the original, just as Netflix' House of Cards has done.
