I didn't care for "A Scandal in Belgravia" as much as some people do because Irene Adler is nowhere near as awesome as she is the Doyle story, "A Scandal in Bohemia" (which is my favorite Sherlock story).
In Doyle's fiction, Holmes calls her "THE Woman" because she's the only person to get the better of him. They are no worse than true equals. Having BBC Sherlock defeat her rubs me the wrong way. But I can admit the episode itself is better structured than any of the middle episodes, and s03e01.
But, yes, the performances from Cumberbatch and Freeman can massage out most of the flaws in any script. Excellent work by the two of them.
