Whether as a power play, a marker of defeat or a way to dismiss criticism, how the Waystar Royco clan use the phrase can ensurprisingly revealing.
,"I have never heard this uttered so many times, by so many different characters, in my life. Is 'uh-huh' a thing in the rich and powerful world that I would not be privy to as I have never run in those circles?"“uh-huh”? On the surface, “uh-huh” is nothing more than… well… “uh-huh”. It's a vague acknowledgement — “I hear you/ got it/ understood”.
Later, in the first season finale, Kendall, who has just crashed a car into water, leaving the waiter from Shiv’s wedding dead in the passenger seat, asks his dad if he knew about the death."Uh-huh," shoots back Logan, victorious. Kendall crumbles. This “uh-huh” is enough to bring his traitorous son to his knees. In one menacing grunt, Logan tells Kendall everything. He knows the truth about last night — he cannot be beaten. He's got him.
In other words, there is always a heap of subtext going on under the surface of these grunted retorts. A condescending or a sarcastic “uh-huh” — a speciality of Shiv’s — can be undermining, a way to establish authority. A cautious, measured “uh-huh” — such as in Tom’s case — can be a sign of hesitance and growing distance in a relationship. On the other hand, an uncertain “uh-huh” can reveal that the speaker is out of their depth.
