Drummer didn't leave the photos of Zoe on the floor. Peeters knocked the box from the closet shelf by accident when searching for shoes that matched the pattern. It was a convenient way to cast suspicion on Drummer, although I agree that the obsession was unlikely.
One of the show's main strengths was that characters were all flawed. They behaved as lead characters of their lives, rather than props for a murder mystery. I was thoroughly engaged for all ten episodes, although the conclusion was problematic. Ines could not have known that Lucien would arrive to find Driss' body, panic, clean the crime scene and take the body to the river. That she kept the boots and necklace is simply unbelieveable.
It was unrealistic that she would have wanted to make a life with Driss, let alone react violently to his not reciprocating her feelings. Act of passion, so I'll suspend disbelief. Yet her murder of Drummer was cold and calculated. This I don't buy. That said, the series is quite engaging and well done.

I agree.
All the stuff that you mentioned under the spoiler tags (and thanks for doing so) struck me in the same way.
I don't know what the writers were playing at here, but to me the denouement was a complete failure of common sense.
If the opposite of Love is indifference, what's the opposite of Hate?

I agree with everything you said. The series has its flaws for sure but I was on the edge of my seat for the last 3 episodes. I wish they had tacked on a few extra minutes of the finale to explain how Ines knew Drummer was going to be at the cabin. That's the only part that bugged me. Her not cleaning up didn't bother me too much because she was clearly drunk and having some sort of emotional break down, so she most likely wasn't thinking rationally. Maybe she was going to go back the next day and clean up, but by the time she got there Lucien had already been there, so she thought she was in the clear? I don't know. Her killing Drummer doesn't seem that out of character. Maybe she was already at the cabin for whatever reason and panicked when he showed up. This chick clearly had some emotional issues and never seemed to show any remorse for killing Driss, so the fact that she killed a cop that was on to her doesn't surprise me too much. Like I said, a few extra minutes would have made a big difference, but all in all what was important is that she was caught, so it doesn't dent my enjoyment of the show in the least bit. It was still phenomenally done. I never would have guessed in the first episode that Drummer was going to end up dead. I really liked him and it's sad he went out like that.
