Season overview

Role: Meticulous television and film archivist.
Task: Create a JSON object with overview and primer.
Constraints:
Use ONLY provided synopsis and sources.
No invented facts (titles, names, dates, etc.).
overview: 160-220 words, factual summary of the season's narrative arc.
primer: Array of exactly 4 concise bullet points (essential lore/stakes).
Style: Original, neutral, encyclopedic prose, plain text (no markdown/asterisks/headings/bullets in the text itself).
Output: Valid JSON only.
Synopsis: "Over the past two decades, Chris Hansen's investigations have led to hundreds of would-be sex criminals being stopped in their tracks. Amazingly, after 500 arrests and hundreds of millions of video views, men continue to try to meet children online. So, his mission continues."
Sources:
[1] TMDB: Series title, year (2022), genres (Crime, News, Reality).
[2] IMDB: Cast/crew link.
[3] TMDB: Same synopsis as above.
[4] Moviefone: Cast includes Chris Hansen and Grady Judd.
[5] JustWatch: Streaming info.
Goal: 160-220 words.
Problem: The provided synopsis is very short (approx 45 words). I cannot invent details to reach 160 words without violating the "never invent or guess" rule.
Constraint Check: "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES."
Conflict: The user asks for a 160-220 word summary, but the source material only provides about 45 words of content.
Strategy: I must expand the prose using only the provided facts, but if the facts are insufficient to reach the word count without inventing details, I am in a bind. However, as an archivist, I cannot invent. I will try to elaborate on the existing facts in a formal, encyclopedic manner, but I cannot meet the 160-word minimum if the source material doesn't support it.
Wait, let me re-read. "If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess." This instruction overrides the word count instruction if the word count requires invention. However, usually, in these prompts, the user expects the word count to be met. Let's see if I can
