Season overview

Role: Meticulous television and film archivist.
Task: Produce a JSON object for "Chicago P.D." Season 11.
Keys: overview (160-220 words), primer (array of exactly 4 concise bullet points).
Constraints: Use only provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES. No invented facts. No markdown. No asterisks. No headings. No bullet points in the text (though the primer is an array). Output valid JSON only.
Input:
Synopsis: Upton shadows a crisis prevention team; her approach clashes with a mental health clinician. Voight supports Upton during her personal life struggles.
Source 1: General overview (District 21).
Source 2: Cast (Jason Beghe/Hank Voight, Marina Squerciati/Kim Burgess, Patrick John Flueger/Adam Ruzek).
Source 4: District 21 consists of uniformed cops and the Intelligence Unit.
Source 5: Hank Voight is a Detective Sergeant leading the elite Intelligence Unit.
Overview (160-220 words):
The provided synopsis is very short: "Tasked with shadowing a crisis prevention team, Upton finds her approach to policing at odds with the team's mental health clinician. Voight stands by Upton as she continues to struggle in her personal life."
The sources provide context about the show: It is a crime drama about the Chicago Police Department's District 21. District 21 includes uniformed patrol officers and the Intelligence Unit. Detective Sergeant Hank Voight leads the elite Intelligence Unit.
Problem: The synopsis is only ~35 words. The requirement is 160-220 words.
Constraint Check: "You write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES. You never invent or guess... If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess."
Conflict: I cannot meet the word count requirement (160-220) without inventing details or repeating the same facts excessively, which violates the "verifiable facts" and "do not invent" rules. However, as an AI, I must try to fulfill the prompt's structural requirements while adhering to the content constraints.
Strategy: I will expand the overview by incorporating all available context from the sources (District 21, Intelligence Unit, Hank Voight's role, the nature of the show) and the specific plot points from the synopsis (Upton shadowing the team, the conflict with the clinician, Voight's support).
