Peaky Blinders 2x02 | First Time Reaction 

yeah they should

Yeah

3 x week

Yeah

This, I love their reactions and I need MORE!

Blood is thicker than water

This is why I respect Winston Churchill! Yes he did bad and shady shit but when the country was at war he stood on the front line with the men! He didn't avoid the war like all these politicians would do today! I'll happily join our Army ranks if Rishi is stood at my side when the day comes but that's about as likely as me riding Daenerys Targaryen's dragons! 😂😂😂

Your closest relationships were etched in pain and life-long trauma, mine were forged in beer and hangovers, we are not the same 😎

used to? the guy who trained the most recent triple crown winner just got in trouble a couple years ago for doping his horses. its probably worse than ever these days

damn

That's why cocaine is nicknamed Speed guys 😊

@@Diegesis its Ketamine. :D its pretty good if u find the right dose.. :D

okay relax snowflake

No and it was absolutely hilarious how deep they were invested to not realise 😂

I don't think he's one of those actors who everyone knows, unfortunately. Not quite a household name. I love him.

​@@ameliacraiig4193 I'm still waiting for Taboo season 2

@@Darkstar_Dayne LOVE Taboo! I've heard rumblings of a s2. I adored him in Locke & Stuart: A Life Backwards also.

FLYING!!! It’s so good though 😩

glad we could inspire someone to go on the journey. it's one of my favorite shows ever

@@Diegesis one of mine now too so thanks! :)

There was actually quite a lot of research into shell shock both during and after the First World War. It was medically classified as psychoneuroses, and the British medical system was actually quite invested in treating it. Things changed as we creep towards the 1930s, however, with war looming once again. I'm more knowledgeable of the Irish side of this, but I do know that some 65,000 British army veterans were receiving pensions for the condition across Britain and Ireland by 1921. Those deemed 'insane' were also treated in district asylums and were designated as 'Service Patients'. Around 6,300 were under treatment after the war. Obviously, when it comes to wider society, that wouldn't have trickled down into how ordinary people may have viewed these conditions, but I do think it's important to note that these conditions were being treated.

Shell shock and PTSD can be the same affliction (and were conflated for most of the 20th century), but they're generally accepted to be two different things. PTSD largely boils down to the stress of having adapt to untenable and traumatic situations, and can range from being minimal with almost no effect on one's ability to function day to day, to extreme dysfunction which is most commonly due to them misidentifying everyday occurrences with the dangers they experienced. There's a pretty large spectrum of symptoms. For example, I have a friend who recently returned from serving in Ukraine after a year of service due to a bad case of pneumonia, and while he's mostly completely fine and is able to recognize that the same dangers that he faced over there just don't exist at home, he still does minor things like drive wide around any trash or take a different route entirely if he spots anything suspicious down the road he's taking (out of fear of concealed mines). It's still PTSD since it's undue stress from a traumatic experience, but it's arguably on the low end of the spectrum. At that point, it becomes difficult to distinguish PTSD from simple learned habit. Shell shock is a quite a bit different, as it's much more of a physical disability as opposed to PTSD, which is almost always the result of a dysfunctional sympathetic nervous system and how it relates to neural activity, rendering their ability to distinguish fight or flight to be greatly diminished. Whereas shell shock was most prevalent in WW1, when soldiers were being subjected to constant shelling barrages that would explode around them constantly. It's probably obvious to most people, but large explosions going off next your head is not good for your brain. It's still a major issue in the military today, especially in the special forces community as they regularly utilize breaching charges and other explosives when conducting both training and real life operations, and they're often used in confined spaces which only strengthens the severity of the percussive wave that they're exposed to. They're known be a cause of early on-set dementia in the operator community. In WW1 especially, we're talking about people that have been subjected to thousands of rounds of artillery, which when landed close enough, would result in repeated micro-concussions that would only compound overtime. This concussive damage on brain tissue could lead to permanent physical disability in some soldiers, as they would lose control of certain brain functions (most often their fine motor control). There are tons of videos of shell shocked soldiers in hospitals and asylums online which I highly recommend everyone to check out, so that they can fully appreciate the severity of it. It would literally cause people to contort their limbs in completely unnatural ways, sadly leaving them appearing almost as though they were ghosts out of a modern horror movie, twisted and deformed. Some would even be essentially locked into a state of permanent fear and muscle tenseness, which would simultaneously negatively affect how well their body's other systems would perform, resulting in greatly reduced lifespans due to the undue stress imposed by their more directly related symptoms. So, shell shock can surely cause PTSD in some instances, but they are two distinct afflictions that don't always have to occur in unison. Alternatively, those that were exposed to gas attacks without proper PPE would experience similar effects, leading to many of their injuries to be considered a form of shell shock.

I hate spin offs but that character deserves his own show...❤

Why wouldn't you compare it to today? Comparing it to our lives is what makes it interesting. Otherwise we wouldn't need historical dramas. And it's a fictional show. You're not gonna hurt anyone's feeling when you criticize a fictional character (well, expect for some viewers feelings apparently...).

@@Jehty_ no it doesnt make sense buddy.....how can u compare somones life to urs who lived some 100 years ago in a completely diffrnt society....you cant judge the charactrs because their behaviours, their attitide is shaped by the society nd the times that they r living in...fr example in war leaders do take decisions that may sound onbnoxious now bt given the situation then it was appropriate....stop this moral policing nd keep aside ur morality while watching any content...try to immerse urself to the world in whuch the maker wnts to take you..try to understand the charactrs as they are without mixing ur own ideology nd morality into it..just enjoy the drama

That’s where I’d seen him GOT cheers dude

@@BOXOFDEMONS666 great Aussie actor! Watch He died with a falafel in his hand

next episode is my personal favorite ~ Chad

I'd love to cover shows more often but that'd mean covering fewer shows and that would be okay if all our shows performed as well as peaky blinders or breaking bad but if we only covered, say three shows, and they all performed as badly as FMAB or Severance then we'd go bankrupt in a month so it's really tough to gamble like that :/

Lol bill burr is not their bag. I wasn't expecting them to recognize him

Should people recognize him? I watch a lot of movies and I've seen him in maybe 3 or 4. At least for me it seems that he isn't all that well known?!

Why, its crap.

What a brilliant recommendation!

Yes

Yes

@@Diegesis oh. I knew he was Brit but didn't know he was in PBs

​@@hkaayaakuu He's the brother of the actor that plays John

@@Darkstar_Dayne ok. I've never seen past a minute of PBs

wait till you see his house in season 3 if you haven't seen it.

@@ads2686 yeah I know I’ve seen all of it

i figured by paying jockies to race poorly

@@Diegesis now you know. If you're ever at the races and you see a horse with a jaw going 100mph, bet you're house on it

@@danielholt1984 cheating happens in some sort of way across all sports. There’s too much money to be made
