To overthrow the manipulative authorities of year 2086, a man genetically designed to teach the values of the regime decides to fight his mental programming, team up with outlaws and free a people brainwashed by a corrupt government
Ah, then here's a question: What causes him to decide to fight his mental programming? Knowing that this is a series, the answer to that could become part of the backstory, or you could handle it in a 2-part series opener.

Ah, then here’s a question: What causes him to decide to fight his mental programming?
Knowing that this is a series, the answer to that could become part of the backstory, or you could handle it in a 2-part series opener. I think either way would work, but I think it’s an element you need to have a solid grasp on.
Since it’s a series, you could also play with this idea: He fights and wins against his mental programming – but does he win for good? Might be interesting if, from time to time, he experiences a lapse – a reversion in his mental state – and we get to see how he, and those around him, deal with that.
Maybe it’s the word “outlaw”, but I keep thinking Firefly – which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. But I imagine a series of episodes where people are being freed and authorities taken on, with equal measure success and failure.
Not sure how any of this helps you with a logline rewrite, but right now it reads one-off feature-film to me, and doesn’t express the greater potential it has as a series.

Thanks Camilla. I agree. That was actually the part that confused people I read it to. What off time?, and why would she choose to spend it like that? - was the reaction.

Figuratively. It's a more conventional psychodrama. What I was attempting to do was draw a contrast between her everyday clients and this man who has serious issues to work through.

I imagine it’s part road movie, in that she must take him to some physical destination erstwhile undergoing a spiritual process to where he can find closure/freedom and she can feel like she’s done someone actual good.
