Is series tv on blu-ray being downgraded?

A better discussion example would be comparing the 5 discs for every Agents of Shield (Disney) with the around 25-30mbps bitrate to the standard 4 discs (15mb or less) for any modern Warner Bros release. The lowest I'd ever seen was 4.4mbps reported when viewing 'The Originals'. Even the review here on SHIELD makes a passing note about it:

With no release extras (maybe a blooper reel) on SHIELD on 5 discs vs things like Arrow having Comic-Con panels and more to fit on 4 discs doesn't it feel like something has to be being sacrificed somewhere? I keep thinking it's video quality as the bitrate stats keep telling me so.

The U.S. and U.K. editions of Flash on blu-ray all use the same codec and the same number of discs per season; they are identical.
