Long Slow Exhale is Spectrum Original’s new drama that premiered this week. Here we find a University that has just won the women’s basketball national title. Led by their coach J.C. Abernathy. But things quickly go south when the administration tries to sweep under a rug a sexual assault claim by one of the players. Leading to tension between players, coaches, administrators, and families. The actions of a few are going to have serious repercussions to many in and around the program.

While this is the main plotline in Long Slow Exhale, we also get to see many other themes develop. For example the communication between a father and daughter. Especially when the father is a success, casting a huge shadow over her daughter who now goes to the same school. As well as dealing with trust, when past mistakes can lead to a parent to believe that their son or daughter is not capable of making their own decisions. These are some things we see with two characters Corrine, played by Brittney Elena, and Desmond played by NFL Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez.
