Not really; Amazon/Netflix buy the rights to single shows from various networks. Sky have tied up the whole output of one network (HBO) for several years to come.
 
Also, Amazon/ Netflix keep back episodes of the shows they first show on a weekly basis; Sky keep a paltry four episodes for a very limited viewing time.
