Suggested correction: This is simply wrong. If a month starts on a Thursday, the first Tuesday will be the 6th, and the second will be the 13th.

Trivia: This series was roughly halfway through filming its 18 planned episodes when Marvel suddenly scrapped it and decided to start over and have just 9 episodes and hire a showrunner (a first for a Marvel Disney+ series). Reportedly, the original writing had a very legal procedural format, and Matt Murdock didn't even suit up as Daredevil until the 4th episode. In the process of revamping the series, Marvel decided to officially make the original Netflix show canon to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
