Fruit of the Poison Tree was a sub par but still makes the cut! What does not work for season five seem to have a lower budget. The car, planes and other movie quality shots are out on this episode. The script writers are running out of ideas. The quality of directing was a bit on the down side. What works: Well too compensate for the budget, script idea shortfalls was creativity with characters, and plot twists. These was a crime lawyer who get into trouble with the Paulie character from the Sopranos and does some dastardly deeds. The lawyers, well, do not follow the client privilege or handling the clients funds in a ethical manner. Amanda Plumber was another lawyer who brings a strong character plot twists performance which keeps the viewer engaged. Johnson does his best as the strong character with the limited material to save and episode on the final seasons slide. More like a murder mystery episode then a Vice episode. Not bad but not great either. 6 stars.
