Where was Too Good To Be True filmed?
The series was filmed on location in Dublin, Ireland. Kara said of the shoot: "Filming in Dublin with this group of people was the happiest job I have ever worked on. I wished this was a recurring series so we could come back again. "
While Allen, who grew up in Killiney, said: "I hadn’t really explored that far down into Wicklow where the big house is. The grounds were spectacular. I don’t think we even captured half of what was there in terms of the expanse of it.
"On one of the last days of filming I turned to one of the sparks and said, ‘It’s a beautiful day I’m just going to have lunch down on the tennis court.’ He said, ‘There’s a tennis court?!’ ‘Yeah, just in this walled garden here.’ ‘There’s a walled garden?!’ It really gave an idea of the extent of Elliot’s wealth. It’s such a beautiful location."
