bishops in the usa have slammed wolf hall as the acclaimed bbc drama was broadcast in the u.s. for the first time .
the review attacked the six-part series as ` a work of fiction that adopts a narrow , revisionist and anti-catholic point of view toward the religious turmoil of the tudor period in which it 's set ' .
the latest remarks echo criticisms voiced by clergy in the uk , who tore into the series for its ` perverse ' depictions of the historical characters when it first aired .
the review also slates the depiction of catholic martyr sir thomas more , played by anton lesser in the show .
