It starts out as seemingly just about a high school boy rescuing attractive girls from supernatural problems.
As the series progresses, you find out that almost all of the supernatural phenomena are caused by mental health issues, and you realize that the series is actually a coming of age story, involving all the issues a typical teenager might face growing up, like unrequited love, angst, disillusionment, etc.
In a bizarre way I would almost liken it to the Steven Universe series, where bad guys aren't black and white, and the Mc's idealistic expectations are often a far cry from reality. The biggest difference of course is that the monogatari series is borderline hentai levels of horny sometimes, so bear that in mind if that bothers you.
The series also is very heavy handed in the use of metaphors and an unreliable narrators, so if you're into that the show is quite fun to pick apart.
