I am trying to learn hooks and the useState method has made me confused. I am assigning an initial value to a state in the form of an array. The set method in useState is not working for me, both with and without the spread syntax.

I have made an API on another PC that I am calling and fetching the data which I want to set into the state.

Here is my code:

Neither setMovies(result) nor setMovies(...result) works.

I expect the result variable to be pushed into the movies array.
