While a Blu-ray might have a slightly higher bitrate (less compression), a Web-DL rip is often visually indistinguishable for most viewers, especially at 1080p.
Q: Why is the file size smaller than other 1080p files I've downloaded? A: This is due to the x265/HEVC compression. It is a feature, not a bug. You are getting similar quality in a smaller package. Narcos Season 1 S01 -1080p Web X265 HEVC 10bit
