Season overview

Role: Meticulous television and film archivist.
Task: Produce a JSON object for "Takedown with Chris Hansen" Season 15.
Constraints:
Use ONLY provided synopsis and sources.
No invented titles, names, dates, counts, awards, ratings, etc.
If a detail is missing, omit it.
Output: Valid JSON only (no markdown).
JSON keys: overview (160-220 words), primer (array of exactly 4 concise bullet points).
Style: Original, neutral, encyclopedic prose, plain text (no markdown/asterisks/headings/bullets in the text itself).
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."
Source 1: Title: Takedown with Chris Hansen (2022). Genre: Crime, News, and Reality.
Source 2: Cast/Crew info.
Source 3: Repeat of synopsis.
Source 4: Cast includes Chris Hansen and Grady Judd.
Source 5: Streaming info (not useful for content).
Season 15 specific info: The prompt asks for Season 15. However, the provided text does not mention Season 15. It only provides a general series overview.
Constraint Check: "If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess."
Problem: I cannot write a 160-220 word summary of Season 15 because the provided text only describes the series as a whole and does not contain specific details about Season 15.
Wait: The prompt asks for a summary of "this season's narrative arc" based only on the provided material. Since the material only describes the series' general mission and history, I must use that information to describe the narrative context provided. However, the word count requirement (160-220 words) is very specific.
Word Count Math: The provided synopsis is approximately 45 words. To reach 160-220 words without inventing facts is impossible.
Strict Adherence: I must not invent facts. If I cannot meet the word count without inventing facts, I have a conflict. Usually, in these "archivist" prompts,
