It is the best "reality" show I have ever seenFace Off is delightful. I caught part of season seven and I am hooked. I just ordered Season Six & Season Two............. It is the best "reality" show I have ever seen. I just marvel at the skills the participants bring and their imaginations are off the charts. The creatures and characters they create in just a matter of hours (usually 3 days) are fascinating. I have been on FB raving about this TV Series on the SYFY Network. I will watch these more than once. Thanks, Mary

I like the show and how it is done now much ...I got hooked on the 10th season and decided to start from the beginning. I like the show and how it is done now much more now then how it was when it started. I think I'll probably buy a few more of the early seasons just to see how much it has changed.

Best Reality Series Ever!!Our favorite reality series! The contestants are there to win, but don't back stab or cause any additional stress or drama than what the show's producers put on them. They are fun professionals who really love what they do, and their passion is contagious! Can't wait for Season 9 to begin on July 28, 2015 so had to get these to tie us over until then.

Interesting seriesI really enjoyed this series. I only bought it because my daughter met one of the contestants at Wizard World and then begged me to get the show. I actually got kind of addicted to it and will be looking for more seasons.

I like the show and am glad I can catch up on Amazon.I like this show and have been watching it the past few years. I had missed the first season and am glad I could have caught up on Amazon. Why can't I get Season 11 though? I'd buy it to watch it.

Like a fine wine, it gets better with ageI really enjoy the SyFy show, Face Off. My husband and I started watching it at the beginning of Season 2 and when that ended we decided to go back and watch season 1 on Amazon. While season 1 is good as well, I'm glad we started with season 2 because I think the show worked out a few kinks between the two seasons. That being said though, if you are at all interested in how they execute cool movie makeup, this is the show for you.
