I'd expect the same from this show.
That's exactly what the book does and what Lindelof & Co want to achieve.
The only thing you're not going to get is a cut and dry, absolute explanation for what the disappearance is. But that's because it's an impossible thing to know. There will be options, opinions, theories, ideas, etc. Just like real life. If the rapture actually happened tomorrow, do you think it would be something that is obvious, or clearly explained? Of course not. Everyone left behind will have different ideas on what actually happened and they will react accordingly.
The show is a show about the various ways people react to an extreme situation. I think if one just goes in knowing that, they should be able to set everything else aside and just enjoy the exploration.
Some people can't do that. And that's fine. But I think it's silly to write it off before it's aired. I also think it's silly to write it off because it's not the show you want it to be. Let it be what it is and judge accordingly.
But don't get mad at The X-Files for not being Cheers. That's all I'm saying.
