Overview Content:
Season 2 takes place in 1984.
Setting: Los Angeles.
Context: The Los Angeles crack cocaine epidemic.
Narrative focus: Characters are working toward ultimate goals of money, power, and influence.
Problem: The provided text is extremely sparse. The TMDB Season Synopsis is only 33 words. The other sources provide general series info (creator, year, setting) but not specific plot details for Season 2 other than the year and the theme of money/power/influence.
Constraint Check: I must write 160-220 words. However, I am strictly forbidden from inventing facts. If the source material only provides ~35 words of specific Season 2 info, I cannot reach 160 words without inventing details (which is a violation) or repeating the same information (which is poor writing).
Wait: Let me re-read. "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES."
If I cannot reach 160 words
