Season overview

Role: Meticulous television and film archivist.
Task: Produce a JSON object for "Big Boys" Season 2.
Keys required: overview (160-220 words), primer (array of exactly 4 concise bullet points).
Constraints: Use ONLY provided synopsis and sources. No inventing titles, names, dates, etc. No markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points (within the text, though primer is an array). Output valid JSON only.
Source Analysis:
[1] TMDB: "Jack and the gang enter their second year at uni, facing eye-opening gay encounters, dodgy work experiences and drastic lifestyle changes."
[2] Wikipedia: British sitcom created/written by Jack Rooke. First broadcast May 26, 2022. Stars Dylan Llewellyn and Jon Pointing as first-year university students living together. Set from 2013. Told from Jack's POV.
[3] TMDB Cast/Crew: Two boys from different ends of the 'spectrum of masculinity' become best friends at Brent University freshers' week. In their first year, they explore, experiment and try to discover themselves.
[4] The Guardian: Jack Rooke's autobiographical series. Set in 2013 after his dad died. Mentions character Danny.
[5] Variety: Irrelevant (about Jensen Ackles).
Overview Content (Season 2):
Jack and the gang enter their second year at university.
They face eye-opening gay encounters.
They face dodgy work experiences.
They face drastic lifestyle changes.
(Need to expand to 160-220 words using only these facts? This is a challenge because the source material for Season 2 is extremely sparse. I must be careful not to invent details to meet the word count. However, the prompt says "factual 160-220 word summary". If the source only provides one sentence for Season 2, I cannot reach 160 words without violating the "never invent or guess" rule. Wait, let me re-read the source.)
Source [1] is the only one describing Season 2: "Jack and the gang enter their second year at uni, facing eye-opening gay encounters, dodgy work experiences and drastic lifestyle changes."
If I cannot reach 160 words without inventing, I have a conflict. Let's see if I can incorporate details from the general series description to flesh it out, provided they are verifiable.
