Like the flag episode from the earlier season, this episode is servicable on its own, but the whole contrived point that "We should exclude gay people because freedom" that not only contradicts itself (there is no freedom if your freedom is restricted by innate things), but its also very cringey and hard to watch.

Mediocre episode, but the message brings it to a one for being cringely asinine.

The episode is standard, and without such a contrived and stupid resolution, it would be around a 6/10, but given the totally moronic political take the creators shoehorn in at the end, this is an embarrassing episode to rewatch.
It is quite literally the Michael Scott: "Thats not what a hate crime is", "Well, I hated it!" joke, except taken seriously.

Fine, but nothing groundbreaking.

Pros:
-Good choreography/action sequences
-Pretty investing characters
-Amazing set pieces and filming locations
Neutral: -Casting (some is great, some is laughable) -CGI can be amazing, but sometimes is so poorly executed that it takes you out of the show.
Cons: -Story is mind numbingly convoluted in the first season, and painfully uneventful in the second.
-Takes itself way too seriously, ergo: tone issues -Dialogue is not great, (its better in season 2, but still cringeworthy sometimes).
Personal con: -I dislike Geralt's voice. It makes everything he says sound like a 15-year-old trying to sound badass, and really removes any amount of depth from his intrapersonal dialogue.
Overall, watch it if you're bored, it kept me entertained for the most part, but if you're looking for a show that is thought provoking, continuously engaging, or well-acted, look somewhere else.
