Too Good To Be True is a Channel 5 thriller that sees Kara Tointon playing Rachel, a cash-strapped single mother who works all hours as a cleaner to give her son Liam a better life.

She’s thrilled when she lands a well-paid job for a wealthy client called Elliot, but when Elliot’s behaviour becomes increasingly controlling, Rachel digs into his past and discovers some dark and disturbing truths.

Downton Abbey star Allen Leech plays the secretive businessman Elliot while Cold Feet’s John Thomson is Rachel’s boss, Geoff.

Too Good To Be True follows Kara Tointon's character Rachel, a young, single mother who is constantly on the poverty line.

She works as a cleaner and one day her boss is approached by a businesswoman acting on behalf of a rich client called Elliot.

He’s a regular guest at the hotel where Rachel works and asks if Rachel can clean exclusively for him.

Rachel jumps at the chance, with the opportunity to work better hours and earn more cash proving too hard to resist.

Gradually though, Elliot’s behaviour towards Rachel and Liam raises red flags and Rachel starts to dig into his past, learning how Elliot’s childhood is the key to his obsession with her and her son.

Her first meeting with mysterious Elliot is when she is putting out some rubbish at the end of her shift and this figure pops out from behind some bins.

It’s just this passing guy who is looking after a stray kitten. She thinks that’s sweet but she’s late for her next stop, which is getting Liam to school.

Then this job opportunity comes up. She’s a bit flummoxed and a bit weirded out by it. Why her?

She arrives at this incredible mansion in a fairy-tale setting and wonders what the heck is going on.

She is now cleaning this huge, beautiful house and the guy she met a few days before is now this gorgeous Prince Charming as it were.

He’s seemingly very nice. He’s given her this shot. But she doesn’t know what to make of it. And then things start to unravel."

Oh

I thought her Eastenders type accent was her real life accent but i looked on Wikipedia and she went to private school so it can't be.

Plenty of people at my private school had ‘London’ accents. I assumed her natural accent was the eastenders one as her ‘posh’ one sounds put on but I don’t know.

Eastenders London accents?

Just watched all four episodes. A few things didn’t add up to me.

Firstly, it looked like Liam and Rachel lived in London. Yet Elliot’s house was nowhere near London, you could tell by the hills near the house. No way would somewhere like that be that close to London.

Yet we’re meant to believe it was only a short- ish drive, like when her manager dropped her off to go to the house for the first time.

And Elliott is Irish. Get there was no reference to him living in Ireland at any time.

Distance is always wrong in tv

He managed to drive Liam to the house. And back again to grab her

Then back to house

In a very short time

And the log cabin bit was in Ireland, Dh could tell by the road markings and he looked up where it was filmed. Yet they drove there in a very short time !
Yes what were the graves ?
And where was his first child or step child ? Did I miss that bit ?
