XTM (which stood for "XviD The Movie" or sometimes "Xtreme Team Media") was a German/European-based release group active primarily between 2008 and 2014. They specialized in HDTV rips of TV shows.

The "2" likely indicates either the second season of a show or the second disc/file in a multi-part release. The formatting suggests it might be the first episode ("E01") of a second season, though the space before the period is an unusual syntax error for seasoned uploaders. -XTM- 2 .E01.111017.HDTV.XviD-WS.avi
