Face Off is currently streaming in the US on YouTube TV, and in the UK on Hayu Amazon Channel, and it delivers exactly the kind of format-driven drama that keeps people talking. 13 seasons of it means there is plenty to get through without ever feeling padded. With 85 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Glenn Hetrick anchors the format, but the whole cast makes it watchable. Available now on YouTube TV — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Face Off earns its spot. Face Off understands that the format only works if the people in it feel real. In this competition/elimination series, special effects make-up artists participate in elaborate challenges for a grand prize and the honor of being Hollywood's next great effects artist. The casting of Glenn Hetrick and Michael Westmore is sharper than the genre usually manages. It ran for 13 seasons (2011–2018), and the writing holds up across every one of them. The format has been replicated endlessly since Face Off first appeared, which is its own form of tribute. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

Best watched with company, Face Off generates takes from everyone in the room. Fans of Dancing with the Stars will recognise the sensibility here immediately. The 13-season run rewards the patience it asks of you. The production understands its own premise and executes on it without apology. If you have enjoyed similar formats before, this is one of the stronger examples of what the genre can do.

Face Off wrapped up in 2018 — and 13 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
