Reality television. Twenty-four, seven, three sixty-five. No commercial interruptions. There may be a slight issue with the horizontal control, but the reception is always perfect.

Sadly, this show would never sell. The plot builds too slowly, the character development is too nuanced and gradual, the fades and dissolves between scenes are too leisurely and predictable. Besides, there is no venue for product placement. Yet this show remains visually compelling and full of drama.

Apparently, life doesn't make for good television and perhaps good television doesn't make for a good life.On Arroyo TV, that irony is served with salsa.
