JSON Keys:
overview: 160-220 word factual summary of the season's narrative arc.
primer: Array of exactly 4 concise bullet points (though the prompt says "no bullet points" in the prose instruction, it asks for an array of 4 bullet points in the JSON structure. I will interpret "no bullet points" as applying to the prose within the strings, but the JSON array itself is the structure. However, the prompt says "no bullet points" in the general instructions. I will provide the array as requested by the key definition, but ensure the text within the array elements doesn't use bullet characters like '-' or '*').
