Should I represent myself in court?

It might seem a simple case of putting forward your case: you’ve seen all the crime dramas on Netflix, you know how it works. But will a judge go easy on you (given you didn’t even go to law school) or yell at you? Will the real lawyers in the room let you look at their notes? And how often do self-represented defendants actually come out on top?
