It can be funny and disturbing. Despite the warnings about possibly triggering, it wasn't that bad for me (being diagnosed with PTSD). There's a lot of intense psychology, so maybe not for people who aren't into that kind of thing. It is also a mystery / thriller, as there seems to be an alternate story still waiting to be uncovered, especially with Kidman's character (who is a great character). It also probably won't sit well with religious types, given some of the themes.
Much like the therapy endured by the guests, the show starts softer and lighter, them becomes more intense each episode. Sometimes it almost hints at mystical elements, but this is not a primary theme, merely a plot device. This show is rooted in science and psychology, not the supernatural. The most incredible thing it does is flesh out the characters; we start off thinking they are all deeply flawed, then come to understand their viewpoints. It's a sort of exercise in empathy, which is great for the times. I would definitely say it's worth the watch, if even just for the wonderful Melissa McCarthy.
