> Brent (Gervais) is neither a sociopath nor the top dog he thinks he is, he's a middle manager who it's implied was legitimately good at sales, but is not at all good at the role he's been promoted into because it's a completely different one.

I think in this hierarchy Brent is supposed to be Clueless rather than Sociopath.

I agree it doesn't 100% match the characters.

By the way, I like Steve Carell but the British show was much better than the US one.
