I think the first phrase does a great job succinctly summing up your high concept, but the second phrase feels like the set-up rather than the focus of the story. He's not going to "begin to question" for three seasons, y'know? instead I'd do some thing like a memory-sweeping doctor tries to uncover the truth beneath the lies he tells his patients - and himself or something like that which just puts him in a more active, driving the story position

also the doubling of memories/memory-sweeping in the first and second phrase is just a little bump, I'd try to find a synonym to get a little more variation
Brilliant. Thanks! I think I'll pivot to something like this:
“In a near-future where memories can be erased and rewritten like files, a mind-sweeping doctor tries to uncover the truth beneath the lies he tells his patients - and himself.”
