The Sky non sports/movie channels appear to have deteriorated of late, IMO. The only programme I am currently recording from their non premium pay channels is Madam Secretary.
Whereas, for example, Netflix are putting out new original series at an impressive pace.

Their pace may look impressive, but bear in mind, they started from nothing so they need to start up a lot of new shows fast. The established channels don't need to start up a lot of new shows as they already have a lot.
Original? Meh. Even House of Cards is based on an old BBC series. Add in a couple of shows they've picked up from elsewhere, or based on Comics..
As for Sky, they don't produce a lot of original series either.. In fact, I can only think of a couple (which, to be fair, I enjoyed). I can't comment on Sky Sports or Sky Movies as I am not interested enough in sports to justify having the sports channels, and I find that if I am interested enough in a movie to watch it again, I probably already own the blu ray by the time it's on Sky.
