Sherlock - S2 • E1 Ratings & Reviews
Flick Filosopher
MaryAnn Johanson
Moriarty did promise to "burn the heart" out of Sherlock. But I don't imagine that even Moriarty had any idea what putting Irene Adler in Sherlock's path would do to him.
Radio Times
David Butcher
It's all laser-tipped dialogue, gymnastic plotting, super-stylish direction and performances that crackle and hum.
Nerdist
Kyle Anderson
By taking on such a well-known story in the [Sherlock] Holmes canon, and making it their own, the Sherlock team has solidified their place in the history of televised sleuthing.
Den of Geek
Louisa Mellor
Of everything there is to enjoy about A Scandal in Belgravia, the cast, the writing, Arnold and Price's music, the deerstalker gag and the bed sheet, Paul McGuigan's direction deserves real acclaim.
TV Equals
Candice Grace
I'm not entirely sure what we just watched, but I think it may be a masterpiece. It's rare that a mystery can have so many disparate elements actually work in some fashion, never mind come together at the end into a coherent whole.
Uproxx
Alan Sepinwall
[Benedict] Cumberbatch and [Lara] Pulver have an enormous amount of fun circling each other as each character is convinced they have the upper hand, only to frequently be proven wrong by the other.
Empire Magazine
John Nugent
Dominatrix Irene Adler proves a rare match for Sherlock's brilliant mind, flummoxing the usually sexless detective with her feminine wiles.
Collider
Kayti Burt
A Scandal in Belgravia is a near-perfect episode of Sherlock that unfortunately doesn't stick its landing, as it gives us an adaptation Irene Adler who manages to be even less progressive than the one depicted in Conan Doyle's original work.
What Culture
Oscar Harding
The episode works so well because Lara Pulver's performance makes the beloved character seem flawed and vulnerable, whilst genuinely feeling like someone who could outwit Sherlock Holmes.
Screen Rant
Jack O'Regan
[Benedict] Cumberbatch's chemistry with [Lara] Pulver sets the screen alight, and their connection develops over the course of the episode, actually turning into as close to a relationship as Sherlock could ever possibly come.
Culturess
Lacy Baugher
If you can ignore all that possibly sexist business, [A Scandal in Belgravia] Belgravia is an entertaining episode, with a complicated mystery and lots of action.
Tor.com
Emily Asher-Perrin
Sherlock has begun putting its fringe characters to much better use, something that practically no incarnation of the stories has bothered to do.
TV Fanatic
The second season premiere of Sherlock, "A Scandal in Belgravia," is my favorite TV episode so far this year.
Daily Telegraph (UK)
Chris Harvey
This was a lesson in how to adapt a Victorian writer with an understanding of what it is that makes their creation so compelling.
IGN Movies
Chris Tilly
It's an excellent episode scuppered by some muddled sexual politics and a somewhat duff conclusion.
Guardian
Sam Wollaston
I'm sure there are dozens of references I missed, but that too doesn't matter. What does matter is that it fizzes down like a glass of New Year bubbly, full of wit and sparkle.
AV Club
John Teti
In essence, the show plays with itself for a couple minutes before it resumes the business of telling a story.
