Succession is also nowhere near 5 million. The S3 premiere was 1.4 across all platforms. Mad Men S3 had double that, with no streaming figures.
And Mad Men being on basic cable is irrelevant.

Sunday’s audience will grow to several times its original size over the course of the season three run. Season two ended up drawing more than 5 million viewers per episode across platforms — a figure that, despite Succession’s trove of awards and critical acclaim, isn’t among HBO’s top performers in recent years.

HBO is a $10-15/month standalone service. AMC is included in basic cable subscriptions. Basic cable generally gets better ratings, and HBO is basically VOD, so same night ratings are not very relevant.
