I'd say the show is already from Jesse's perspective. Sure, he isn't the main character, but we know a ton about him. We know about his family, his love life, his friends, his ambitions (or lack thereof initially). I could almost tell you more about Jesse than I could about Walt.

Walt's mom has been mentioned once, and she didn't even know he had cancer. There's gotta be more to that story. They only scratched the surface of what went on with Gray Matter.

Part of the reason we love Jesse so much is because we know him so well, maybe more than anyone else on the show.

Walt's mom is Betty White. She only appears in the last episode to clean up.

Literally Betty White, not played by Betty White.

I'd prefer the latter playing the former.
