Too Good To Be True is a channel 5 mini series psychological drama thriller. Which aired in 2024.
Starring Allen Leech and Kara Tointon.
It's about Obsession,power and what goes on behind closed doors.
Despite the low rating and some negative reviews it's surprisingly good. So don't be fooled.
The first episode was good just persevere with it as the series does get better.
It's little predictable but a good watch !
Too Good To Be true is intense and thrilling to watch !!
Acting was good ! Least Kara Tointon is more of a natural actress than Michelle keegan. She is not so wooden. Kara Tointon is more believable!!
Allen Leech is such a brilliant actor I think he played the part extremely well he was the one you stood out more in this drama.
Overall it surprised me that it's not a bad watch for a channel 5 drama I've seen some rubbish in my time. So I know what is good regarding tv and acting.
Give it a watch as it's good!!
Streaming on My 5 now !

Having watched some utter dross in 2024 whe it comes to tv drama I went into this with some trepidation as a result of all the recent reviews. This is a little predictable but is easy to watch and does have a storyline. I think some of the reviews are a little harsh considering some dramas I've watched based upon good reviews only to find they are shockingly bad. I'm glad it's only 4 episodes long however the story flows nicely, setting the scene and although most people would scoff at the storyline by saying "well this is too good to be true" I guess that's the whole point.
Overall I would say this is worth a watch if at a loose end.

I guess this a show for keeping in the background. You know, when you like to have some noise, while doing something. I actually do that often, when I code, for example: put a TV show or a movie on one side of the screen, and code on the other. When in that kind of mode, this show may look decent, since it has quite good dynamics, but...
When you start to think about it seriously it makes little to no sense. The woman has a kid, and we are led to believe, she cares about him, and sacrificing her own food for him even. But then, she has an abusive ex, against whom she does not have a restraining order (and probably did not even try), and then she takes the kid with her to a random "billionaire" that wants her to clean for him without much of an afterthought, that it may be dangerous.
Not only that, but she also completely ignores the requirement to not enter prohibited area on her 2nd day. Or 1st one depending on how you count really. Don't get me wrong, even "The Beauty and The Beast" had this kind of thing in it, and numerous other stories, too, but they always either tempt the character to break the rule or force through some kind of accident. There was no accident here, and I do not think closed doors tempt people that much to risk a job one needs to literally survive.
But I guess, that's what you would expect from a person taking her kid inside guests' rooms in a hotel, she is cleaning at. Taking the kid to the hotel, because there is no one to look after him? That I can understand. Taking him inside the rooms? Definitely a no-no, and in real world would probably result in her getting fired pretty soon.
These seemingly little things break the whole atmosphere that the show is trying to build. Since this is supposed to be a thriller, the damage is outright fatal.

My first thought about this was 'Surely they haven't given away the plot in the title?'. After about 30 minutes I realised the answer was 'Yes, they have'.
At this point I decided to turn my brain off to prevent any possible damage but continued watching. Actually, if you watch it in brain off mode it's not that bad, there was even a twist at the very end that I didn't see coming, the sort where you ask yourself afterwards: 'Why didn't I see that coming?'.
Channel 5 give us new dramas on a very small budget which is great but sometimes the quality suffers. It's unambitious, undemanding viewing, you will see worse shows this year, which is a depressing thought.

I just watched the 4 episodes.
I'd not heard of the male lead and man he can act but why oh why was he in this trash?
The other actors were laughable and the female lead with her either smiling expression or pained expression and nothing in-between was unwatchable.
The poor kid should have stayed at school as he ain't got no career in acting!
I can't work out whether it was the writer's fault or director's fault or just the whole sorry lot that this was so bad.
It was a Channel 5 afternoon USA type film on steroids.
Channel 5 seem to take the viewer for fools as it was all so non sensical and full of holes. It had me shouting at the screen!
Why do they use the same template for everything now.
I'll most definitely look out for things with Allen Leech but that's the only good thing to come out of this.
