1 Worst: Jamey & Sierra – Sierra Burgess Is A Loser

Noah Centineo may be Netflix’s teen romantic comedy heartthrob, but not even heartthrob status could save Sierra Burgess is a Loser from creating one of the worst teen couples of all time.

For the first time in a long time, fans sympathized with the boy in the teen rom-com instead of the girl, with many fans wishing Jamey ended up with someone who really cares about him.
