Season overview
Role: Meticulous television and film archivist.
Task: Produce a JSON object for "Black Monday" Season 3.
Keys required: overview (160-220 words), primer (array of exactly 4 concise bullet points).
Constraints: Use ONLY provided synopsis and sources. No invented facts. No markdown/asterisks/headings/bullets in the text (though the primer is an array of strings). Output valid JSON only.
Input: TMDB Season Synopsis and 5 Sources.
TMDB Season Synopsis: Season 3 involves the crew embracing the 1990s. They have left the financial world (cocaine-covered rearview mirror) and face an existential question about what to do now that their power/influence ("balls") has been taken away. Their answer is to change the game.
Source [1]: Mentions "Black Monday (2019)", "TV-MA", "Comedy and Crime". Mentions the date October 19, 1987 (Black Monday).
Source [3], [4], [5]: Mentions the series is about a group of outsiders taking on the blue-blood, old-boys club of Wall Street and crashing the world's largest financial system, a Lamborghini limousine, Don Henley's birthday party, and the glass ceiling.
Overview:
Goal: 160-220 words.
Content: Season 3 transitions into the 1990s. The characters have moved past the financial world they previously inhabited. They face an existential crisis regarding their lack of influence or power. To address this, they decide to change the game.
Drafting (Mental Check): The provided synopsis is very short. I need to expand it to 160-220 words using only the provided text.
Problem: The provided synopsis is only about 45 words. The instructions say "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES." If I expand it to 160 words, I will inevitably be "inventing" or "guessing" or "fluffing" which violates the "never invent or guess" and "Write ONLY verifiable facts" rule.
Refined Strategy: I must try to reach the word count using the facts provided, but if the facts don't exist, I cannot fulfill the word count requirement without violating the core instruction of being a meticulous archivist who only writes verifiable facts. However, usually, in these prompts, if the word count is a constraint, I must attempt to meet it. Let's
