Does Resurrection have a clear end? [closed]

I don't want to start watching the series "Resurrection" if it has no clear plot direction or conclusion. I've been burned by the likes of "Lost" and I don't want to go through that again.

Resurrection

Is Resurrection written with an end or explanation, or is it just made up as it goes? (I understand this may be difficult to answer, so I'll clarify)

Update: According to the IMBD page the series is based on a novel or series of novels. Do the novels have a clear direction? And does the series align with the novels enough to assume the end in the novels will be the end in the TV series?

It also says the series is an adaptation of the series "The Returned", did that have a clear conclusion?

We're only three episodes into the eight episode season, so currently it's impossible to say.

This link contains an interview with the show's Executive Producers Tara Butters (@breadandbutters) and Michele Fazekas and thus contains major spoilers. Therefore, you probably shouldn't open it!! However, to give a summary of what's inside it.

Pros: The creators appear to have some idea of where they are going. They are trying to create a long, slow-unfolding mythology.

Cons: The last question from the interview:

Q: Was LOST an influence?

Tara: Absolutely. I don’t think you can do a show like this without having some influence. I feel very strongly that this show shouldn’t be more than 13 episodes a season, because my favorite seasons of LOST were the shorter seasons because they could be so much more.

Michele: When you’re building these continuous storyline episodes, you can’t jump around, you have to sort of build them in order. And if you change something back here, it sort of affects this. So that’s why we really liked having a smaller number of episodes, so you can really craft it and be smart about it. Versus just kind of filling space.

Given you specifically mentioned being disappointed by Lost in your question, maybe its influence is a bad sign!

At the very least, I would point out that if you're looking to get really sucked into a fun and engrossing series with a clear end, you should probably stick to one that has been out a while or completed its runtime!
