SABC3 started a run of Dr 902-SCUM-0 on Tuesday night and it's as despicable as I remember it from when it first aired on E!.
This is an article I wrote about it when it was airing on E! so I thought I'd republish it because my feelings on it are
exactly the same:

I was just sitting here, minding my own business and getting up to stuff with the TV on in the background. Next thing I looked up at it and got assaulted, attacked and brutalised from all sides by Dr 902-SCUM-0.
The plastic psycho-perve doctor was doing an operation on someone and next thing they cut to this scene:
(Please know, that if you click it and see it, you won't be the same again. I couldn't even do the video capturing of it myself 'cos of how it knocked me unconscious. You have been
warned so please be prepared.)
What I want to know is what kind of sicko is responsible for this being a TV show in the first place!?
And - how do they possibly get away with showing such
hectic violence episode after episode?? To me it's right up there with snuff movies.
What makes it even more despicable is that they're not even being honest about what they're doing. The idea that it's a plastic surgery show and therefore justified is
such a twisted manipulation to hide the fact that it's simply an excuse to show the ultimate bloodthirsty footage and get away with it.
I don't have anything else to say. I'm too numbed by the horror.
