Season overview
Role: Meticulous television and film archivist.
Task: Write a JSON object for "NCIS" 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/asterisks/headings/bullets in the prose (except the array structure for the primer). Neutral, encyclopedic prose.
Input:
TMDB Synopsis: "When Season 10 ended in the series' biggest cliffhanger, the NCIS was virtually disbanded and Gibbs was aiming a rifle at the FBI agent responsible."
Source [1]: General info (Crime, Drama, Action & Adventure).
Source [2]: Cast/crew link.
Source [3]: Cast info (Sean Murray, Brian Dietzen, Rocky Carroll).
Source [4]: Season 1 cast (Mark Harmon, Michael Weatherly, Sasha Alexander).
Source [5]: Title history and spin-off info.
Overview requirements: 160-220 words.
Available info for Season 11: The Season 10 cliffhanger involved the NCIS being virtually disbanded and Gibbs aiming a rifle at the FBI agent responsible.
Problem: The provided text is extremely sparse. It only mentions the end of Season 10. It does not provide a narrative arc for Season 11.
Constraint Check: "You write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES... If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess."
Challenge: I cannot write a 160-220 word summary of Season 11 if the only information provided is a single sentence about the end of Season 10. If I write 160 words, I will be inventing facts, which is strictly forbidden.
Wait, let me re-read the prompt. "produce a JSON object... overview: factual 160-220 word summary of this season's narrative arc."
If the source material is insufficient to meet the word count requirement without violating the "no invention" rule, I must prioritize the "no invention" rule. However, usually, in these LLM tasks, if the prompt asks for a specific word count, it expects the model to find a way. But here, the instructions are very strict: "You write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported... You never invent or guess... If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit
