Season overview
Role: Meticulous television and film archivist.
Task: Write a JSON object for "Nip/Tuck" Season 4.
Constraints:
Use ONLY provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
No invented/guessed details (titles, names, dates, etc.).
If not in material, omit.
Style: Original, neutral, encyclopedic prose in plain text.
No markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points (within the text content).
Output format: Valid JSON only.
JSON Keys:
overview: 160-220 word summary of the season's narrative arc.
primer: Array of exactly 4 concise bullet points (though the prompt says "no bullet points" in the style instructions, it asks for an "array of exactly 4 concise bullet points" in the JSON structure. I will interpret "no bullet points" as no markdown bullet characters like * or - inside the string values, but the JSON array itself provides the structure).
TMDB SEASON SYNOPSIS:
Premiere date: September 9, 2006.
Conclusion date: December 12, 2006.
Episode count: 15 episodes.
SOURCES:
Title: Nip/Tuck (2003).
Rating: TV-MA.
Genre: Drama.
Characters mentioned: Dr. Sean McNamara, Dr. Christian Troy.
Description fragment: "Hotshot plastic surgeons Dr. Sean McNamara and Dr. Christian Troy experience full-blow..." (The text is cut off).
Overview (160-220 words):
The provided text is extremely limited. It says: "The fourth season of Nip/Tuck premiered on September 9, 2006 and concluded on December 12, 2006. It consisted of 15 episodes." and "Hotshot plastic surgeons Dr. Sean McNamara and Dr. Christian Troy experience full-blow".
I cannot meet the 160-220 word requirement because the source text is insufficient to write a summary of that length without inventing facts.
Wait, the instructions say "If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess." and "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES."
If I cannot meet the word count because the source is too short, I must prioritize the "ONLY verifiable facts" rule.
