A bit late to the party but never the less my two cents.
I just binge watch 9 seasons and while at the beginning it was captivating, interesting and i simply wanted more, at this point it's just waiting for the end.
Few honest observations:
I should also mention characters of Harold Cooper, Aram Mujtabai and to some degree Donald Ressler. Though the latter became kind of boring and cliche towards the end. I personally liked all of the actors, as they tried their best.
Never the less, the beginning is excellent and it might have been something almost epic should it ended in previous seasons. So My verdict is 8/10 because of it.

Few honest observations:
- James Spader is excellent in it throughout. He is the one that everyone wait to see onscreen and he captures most of the scenes he's in. Obvious standout star, despite it being an ansamble show.

- Katerina Rostova story ark is really stupid at this point. No one would care about it. Absolutely no logic to it. It's there just to keep on pushing new seasons.
- Villains getting worse by the season. The pinnacle was Elizabeth transformation into master criminal and using an ex PI (also female badass) as her second in command. All while being a single mother. Girl power till the end, but it's just idiotic.
- Meghan Boone is much prettier in season 8 than in season 1. I guess they've finally found her makeup\light. Only took about 8 seasons to do it and she left. For me she was never a lead, but a support staff for James Spader.
- It should have ended at season 6-7.
