"Get Some" is the third episode of the first season of the American superhero television series The Boys, based on the comic book series of the same name by Garth Ennis. It is set in a universe where superpowered individuals, known as Supes, are portrayed as corrupt individuals instead of the heroes the general public believes they are. The episode was written by George Mastras and directed by Phil Sgriccia.
The episode follows the Boys spying on A-Train's girlfriend, Popclaw, to find a clue to his former motives the day he killed Robin while being joined by Billy Butcher's former partner and friend, Mother's Milk. This eventually led to the discovery of the existence of a drug named Compound-V, which the Supes frequently use. Meanwhile, A-Train intends to use Compound-V to win the race against another speedster while keeping his relationship with Popclaw a secret from the public eye.
"Get Some" was released on the streaming service Amazon Prime Video on July 26, 2019. The episode received positive reviews from critics, who praised the visual effects, performances, social commentary, and introduction of Mother's Milk. Some reviewers criticized it for not reaching the potential of its source material.
