How to understand a British accent?

I want to watch Peaky Blinders, but here's the problem, half of the British words just fly past my ears, like now the level of English is C1, when they speak quickly, I don't understand all the words, but because of the context, the next sentence or some word that I understood , I can translate into Russian what they said there. But the British accent is a different matter, I understand that everything will come only with practice, but I don’t want to learn to understand it for a very long time, for the sake of this series, and I can’t watch Russian, not only that, they just imposed Russian speech on top English as well, and as soon as I hear these voices from some Lostmovie, it's simply impossible, so some life hacks are urgently needed.

Weird. The British reprimand is the most truest, it is understood for one or two. In general, when I first heard it, I confused it with Dutch and German, they pronounce it so clearly. And the Americans have porridge in their mouths.

Watch more YouTube videos in British accent with subtitles. Heard incomprehensible words or a phrase, listen several times (the audio pronunciation of words in the British way is https://wooordhunt.ru/word )
The main thing is to listen, listen and listen. Very carefully. For me personally, the American accent is very understandable (the jargon features of black English speakers are still a mystery). good luck with your study)
