Task: Create a JSON object for "The European Side" Season 5.
Keys: overview (160-220 words), primer (array of exactly 4 concise bullet points).
Constraints: Use ONLY provided synopsis and sources. No invented facts. No markdown/asterisks/headings/bullets in the prose (though the primer is an array of strings). Output valid JSON only.
Content:

TMDB Season Synopsis:
Broadcast: Sept 19, 2007 to June 4, 2008.
Episode count: 32 episodes (162nd episode is the end).

Sources [1], [3]:
Series Title: The European Side (2004).
Genre: Family and Comedy.
Premise: Life and times of the traditional Sutcuoglu family and their comedic struggles to adapt to the high-profile contemporary life of Nisantasi.
Sources [2], [4]:
General cast/crew info (no specific plot details).
Overview Requirement: 160-220 words.
Problem: The provided synopsis is extremely sparse. It only mentions the broadcast dates, episode count, and three pairs of characters. It does not provide a narrative arc or plot details.
Constraint Check: "You write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES. You never invent or guess... If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess."
Dilemma: If I write a 160-220 word overview based only on the provided text, I will fail the word count constraint because there isn't enough information to reach 160 words without inventing details.
Wait: Let me re-read the prompt. "produce a JSON object with keys: overview: factual 160-220 word summary...".
Conflict: The source material is insufficient to meet the word count requirement without violating the "never invent or guess" rule.
