[2] TMDB Cast/Crew: "A former Marine out to punish the criminals responsible for his family's murder finds himself ensnared in a military conspiracy." (Note: This describes the series/character generally, but doesn't specify if it's Season 1 or Season 2, though it's the only plot info available).
[3] Wikipedia: "Marvel's The Punisher is an American TV series and the sixth and final Netflix series of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The series was created by Steve Lightfoot and was on Netflix from November 17, 2017 to January 18, 2019."

Overview: I need to write 160-220 words.
Available info for Season 2: "Marvel's The Punisher Season 2 continues the overarching saga across 13 episodes."
General series info: "A former Marine out to punish the criminals responsible for his family's murder finds himself ensnared in a military conspiracy."
Problem: The provided text for Season 2 is extremely sparse. It only says it continues the saga across 13 episodes. It does not provide specific plot details for Season 2.
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."
If I write 160-220 words about a season where the only provided fact is that it has 13 episodes and continues the saga, I will fail the word count requirement unless I repeat myself, which is bad
