Season overview
Topic: "Talking Sopranos" Season 1.
Task: Produce a JSON object with overview (160-220 words) and primer (array of exactly 4 concise bullet points).
Constraints: Use ONLY provided synopsis and sources. No invented facts. No markdown/asterisks/headings/bullet points in the text (though primer is an array). Output valid JSON only.
Source Material:
TMDB Synopsis: "Sopranos co-stars Michael Imperioli and Steve Schirripa host the definitive Sopranos re-watch podcast."
Source [1]: "Talking Sopranos (2020) TV-MA Talk... Cast members Michael Imperioli and Steve Schirripa host Talking Sopranos. Michael revie..."
Title: Talking Sopranos.
Year: 2020.
Rating: TV-MA.
Format: Talk/Podcast.
Hosts: Michael Imperioli and Steve Schirripa.
Nature: A re-watch podcast of the series Sopranos.
Hosts' relationship: Sopranos co-stars.
Overview: Needs to be 160-220 words.
Problem: The provided text is extremely sparse. It only says they host a re-watch podcast.
Constraint Check: "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES."
Conflict: If I write 160-220 words based only on "Sopranos co-stars Michael Imperioli and Steve Schirripa host the definitive Sopranos re-watch podcast," I will fail the word count constraint or I will have to invent facts.
Instructional Hierarchy: "Write ONLY verifiable facts... If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess." vs "factual 160-220 word summary".
Resolution: I cannot fulfill the 160-220 word requirement without inventing information. However, as an AI, I must follow the "ONLY verifiable facts" rule as the primary directive for an archivist. If the source material is insufficient to reach 160 words, I cannot reach it without violating the core instruction of not inventing facts.
Wait: Let me re-read. "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES."
Drafting Overview: Talking Sopranos is a 2020 talk series. The program is hosted by Michael Imperioli and
