One dystopian series that feels ever-more relevant with every passing year, with the utilization of weaponized therapy-speak, AI making decisions in "crime-detection" software, and the slow separation from spaces that are fully our own as our free time and community get shunted online, is Psycho-Pass.
Now it's central cast are all cops (or former cops), so there's a degree of copoganda to it, but considering it does explicitly criticize a lot that you would never see in an American cop show, I do think that it's worth checking out if you want a story that breaks down systemic ideology puppeting a justice system.
I got the impulse to rewatch the first episode today, and got struck with how the first episode handles the opening conflict. "A street-scanner flagged him during a hue-check, then he was approached by a security drone and ordered to attend therapy, but he panicked and ran." Now, this guy does go on to explicitly SA a girl, but the show in-the-same-episode does confront how stress and trauma impact that same hue-scan.
This is a lot harder to explain if you haven't watched the show, so I guess, if you want a dystopian series that breaks down this topic and is SPECIFICALLY aimed towards adults rather than teenagers, this anime is one of the best I can recommend you.
[And I do mean specifically for adults. From grotesque themes, gore, violence, SA, nudity, ect. this is not dressed up shounen.]
