I don't think he turned too quickly.

He'd already started to turn a bit back in Episode 2, when he slaughtered the Sand People.

And he was already quite angry, arrogant, & impatient. All dark side emotions.

He got more angry & frustrated with the Council, & with Obi Wan.

He was fearful of Padme dying.

He was already on his way... then Palpatine told him that Padme could only be saved if he learnt about the dark side from him, & served him. So he made that choice to help Palpatine, as he *had* to save Padme. And so he turned to the Dark Side.

Not too quick or sudden IMO, & the reasoning made sense.
