How did Korg mess up directing the sequel so badly?

I watched: Fallout (Amazon Prime) - The Target" - Episode 2. Episode 1 had three main characters, "Lucy" (Ella Purnell) a young woman from the Vault where a 1950s/1960s style American civilization survived the apocalypse; "The Ghoul" (Walton Goggins) who was a pre-war famous actor and somehow hundreds of years later he's still alive, more or less; and "Maximus" (Aaron Moten) who basically stole a mech suit of armor. Episode 2 has the three characters converging on a small town with each taking an interest in a mysterious man played by Michael Emerson. I know playing a mysterious character who knows more than he's letting on is a stretch for Emerson, but somehow he pulls it off. "The Head" - Episode 3 - This felt like filler with no real character development or movement, but just stuff happening to fill the running time.
