There is no explicit date given for the events in the series, other than it being presented as contemporary drama. However, in this episode a character reads a letter that they've prepared, and it is dated 26th April 2023. Interestingly, the series dropped for streaming on 27th March 2023, and this episode was later, first broadcast on 24th April 2023. Strictly speaking it could be argued that that makes this show science-fiction.
