Black Mirror: White Bear (2013)
Episode 2, Season 2
Crime and Punishment

I have enjoyed reading users' commentary discussing the severity of the main character's punishment. Some see it as too severe and dehumanizing while others feel the character is not punished enough because her memory is wiped clean every day. I feel these are great points but perhaps missing the main point of the episode. This has little to do with righting a wrong or providing justice. This is all about society getting to punish a bad person repeatedly until they feel better. It argues that the punishment for a crime is more focused on the gratification it gives to the rest of us.
