Fair point.

Personally, I'm dying for a Sherlock adaptation which treats Irene in a manner which really is true to ACD-canon, namely as a minor and not very interesting female client woman encountered during a case, whose brief interaction with Holmes Watson chooses to exaggerate wildly, probably because he's co-opted her as an involuntary beard and he has to explain why no other woman could ever measure up, notwithstanding that her great defeat of Holmes consists of getting married and leaving town in a hurry once she spots he's taken the case.
