Resources for studying Nach

Hi everyone. Shavuah tov! This coming Jewish year I really want to get into Nach (Neviim and Ketuvim). I’m Orthodox circles this is often largely the domain of women, but I am a man and I want to dig deep. Are there good classes (especially online classes) for Nach, or resources that you recommend?

I’m very interested in Jewish history, and these are the sources in the Tanakh with a lot of the historical information. (Not all of Nach is historical, but a lot of it is recording verifiable history, and not myth/legend). I also feel like this is an unfortunately under emphasized part of the tradition, which my exposure has been solely haftarot, which is focused on connecting to the Parasha and not looking at the sources in their own right.

Note I speak and read Hebrew as a second language but better with modern than Biblical Hebrew. Resources in English but engaging with the Hebrew text would be best!

Any thoughts?
