The second batch of episodes, begins with a bang, a slight uptick in entertainment. Even though she's not a fully fledged nemesis, the Irene Adler trumps this series' Moriarty in every way. She's intelligent, threatening, conniving, and extremely sexy, but not without endearing qualities--most aptly described as a femme fatale. I'm pretty impressed with the continued quality of the series.

The best episode of Sherlock, and one of the best episodes of TV ever. I honestly doubt they'll ever top it. EDIT: They didn't.

This episode was indeed the gift that kept on giving; thrilling, funny, suspenseful, sexy, mysterious and most of all engaging through and through. Watch it!

Pure class. This is both "Sherlock" as a concept and a character at his peak. The screenplay, cast interaction and direction is of an exceptional standard. One of the best things on TV in an age.

Seriously, I do not understand the hype about this series, I saw the first series and it was not bad but here I left at the hour because where is it the Mystery? Not near Holmes, that is for sure.

'A Scandal in Belgravia' boasts great style and a sultry chemistry between Cumberbatch and Pulver, but the ludicrous nature of its plot and an arguably problematic portrayal of Irene Adler and her dynamic with both Holmes and Moriarty renders this story a guilty pleasure at best.

I didn't love it, but it's much better than the second and third episode of season one.

The best installment of the series thus far: incredibly written, very intricate and full of all the elements that makes this a fascinating program.
