I"m not really sure what your argument is here. OP made the comparison, not me. The numbers aren't lying. The BB wiki page shows the number of viewers for each episode. I watched it from the beginning as it aired and it was not a popular show at that time though it did receive a lot of critical acclaim.

I think people greatly overestimate how popular Breaking Bad was during it's run. TLOU is already much more popular than Breaking Bad was until it's final episodes. BB never got more than 3 million viewers until S5 and the only episode to hit 10 million viewers was the series finale. TLOU had already hit 10 million viewers by episode 4.
