Filemon Wesselink got to go paintballing for less than a euro per person – just for a little while

In the new Dutch television program Too good to be true, presenters Mark Baanders and Filemon Wesselink attempt to live a luxurious lifestyle while spending as little money as possible. The duo is tasked with organizing high-end experiences for each other by hunting for extreme online bargains, such as securing a low-cost flying lesson or a budget-friendly paintball session. However, these activities often fall short, with the paintball game lasting only fifteen minutes due to a lack of ammunition. The show also features the pair shopping for other cheap luxury items and purchasing a dilapidated Porsche, all while maintaining a chaotic scoring system.

The program has faced criticism for its poor production quality, particularly the frequent use of generic and lifeless AI-generated imagery. Although a consumer psychologist is featured to discuss the concept of luxury, the show is described as lacking substance and purpose. Despite the chemistry between Baanders and Wesselink, the program is ultimately criticized for being an uninspired and hollow production that fails to deliver any meaningful entertainment.
