Best: Sharpe’s Mission, made probably the best use of the budget the show had, had a great villain and a very good story. Plus gave us the “now that’s soldiering” meme. Worst: Sharpe’s Gold, as someone else said a great book but a bloody dire episode.

Some stories are noticeably weaker than others (most notably Sharpe's Honour and Sharpe's Gold) but overall Sharpe is a very strong series with great acting and writing despite the budgetary limitations of the time and is definitely worth checking out if only to see Sean Bean shine in this forgotten early role.
