Nahit Sırrı Örik's 1936 novel of the same name is the source of Eve Düşen Yıldırım (literally, Lightning Struck the House), a romantic drama series that Medyapım produced in Turkey. Show TV aired its two seasons and 22 episodes between March 9 and October 15, 2012.

The story centers on young Muazzez, who loses her father and has to move into the mansion of an uncle she has never met. Her arrival sets off a crisis: her cousins Namık and Sait fall in love with the same woman, and deep emotional conflict spreads through the family. Murat Han, Gizem Karaca and Seda Akman head the cast, joined by Mehmetcan Mincinozlu and Ergün Uçucu.

Meryem Gül wrote the series and Fatih Aksoy produced it, with music by Ercüment Orkut, Nail Yurtsever, Cem Tuncer, Metin Kalaç and Ercan Tanrıverdi. Mehmet Bahadır Er directed the first season; Feride Kaytan took over when the second began on September 8, 2012. It launched on Friday at 22.30, shifted to Wednesday at 20.00 from episode 14, and closed its first season on June 20, 2012, with episode 16. Executive producer Armağan Çağlayan later announced it would end with episode 22.

Through different eyes

Yeşilçam Nostalgic A viewer raised on the classics, looking for warm storytelling and strong acting.

Eve Düşen Yıldırım is adapted from Nahit Sırrı Örik's 1936 novel, and to my mind seeing one of our underappreciated masters of literature brought to television is a joy in itself. Muazzez, who loses her father and moves into the mansion of an uncle she has never met, and a family shaken by her arrival... the setup carries the familiar warmth of mansion dramas and old melodramas. Two cousins in love with the same woman is a classic conflict, but such love triangles slip easily into repetition, and keeping the novel's subtlety alive on screen is no easy task. Even so, a worthwhile adaptation for lovers of classic stories.

Series Binger A series devotee tracking character arcs, cast chemistry and season pacing.

With two seasons and 22 episodes, Eve Düşen Yıldırım counts as a short series. The cast led by Murat Han, Gizem Karaca and Seda Akman is strong enough to carry the rivalry between Namık and Sait, and the love triangle sparks curiosity early on. But a change of director in the second season and a schedule that moved around more than once suggest a show that struggled to hold a steady course, and the announcement that it would end with episode 22 leaves the feeling that the story may have been wrapped up before it fully ripened. Still an enjoyable pick for fans of love triangles.

Family Viewer Asks whether the whole household can watch it; cares about humor and heart.

Eve Düşen Yıldırım is a romantic drama built on love and jealousy inside a family. The story of a young woman who loses her father and moves into the mansion of an uncle she has never met is emotional and draws you in. But two cousins in love with the same woman and the tensions in the family won't mean much to young children. A good evening series for teens and adults; little ones may get bored.
