too good

Beyond acceptable quality

Too good describes something that exceeds expectations or surpasses what's typical: This deal is too good to pass up.

The phrase often carries suspicion—too good to be true suggests something is probably fraudulent or will disappoint.

Applied to people, it can mean excessively virtuous or kind: She's too good for him.
